Pittsburgh at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

I've been fading the Steelers a lot this season but now it's time to pull the ole switcheroo. Los Angeles is off to a disappointing start with a 2-3 record and 1-3-1 ATS. The Steelers look to avenge a 33-30 loss to the Chargers in December in a game that went OVER by 10.5 points. Pittsburgh went OVER in its 26-23 overtime loss to Baltimore and lost its quarterback, Mason Rudolph, to a concussion. However, backup Devlin Hodges threw for 68 yards and directed a couple of scoring drives. Hodges was a four-year starter at Samford and he broke Steve McNair's NCAA FCS record for passing yards with 14,584. There is an outside chance that Rudolph will be ready for this game. The Chargers come off a 20-13 loss to previously winless Denver and they turned the ball over twice inside the Denver five-yard-line. Philip Rivers went 32-of-48 with two interceptions and Melvin Gordon ran for 31 yards in his return from a holdout. Pittsburgh is 7-1-1 ATS when following an ATS win and 49-24-2 ATS its last 75 October games. The Chargers are 11-28-1 ATS their last 40 home games. This is a low posted total due to Pittsburgh's QB situation, but even if Rudolph can't go, Hodges is capable of putting points on the board. Play the Steelers as a Max Play and the OVER.
