Scott Pianowski made the Steelers +3 his best bet, arguing that Pittsburgh habitually plays to the level of its opponent and therefore tends to be live as an underdog against stronger teams. With the Chargers entering Week 10 as playoff contenders, Pianowski expects Mike Tomlin’s defense to ratchet up its blitz rate and ugly the game into a one-score slog, the exact environment where Pittsburgh has thrived. He also noted that Justin Herbert’s offense has sputtered in protection-heavy matchups, giving the Steelers a clear path to hang inside the number or steal an outright win.
