The Los Angeles Chargers are 2.5-point underdogs to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3 of the 2024 regular season. The over/under is 34.5 points, per BetMGM Sportsbook. That means oddsmakers are taking bets on whether the two teams will combine to score more than or fewer than 34.5 points.

The Pittsburgh Steelers head into a test of wills against the Los Angeles Chargers. In many categories, these teams are ranked first and second defensively, while they both want to run the ball at will against other teams. Pittsburgh might have one key advantage against the Chargers, though.

In Week 3, there's a very good chance that changes, as Harbaugh has shown he's willing to commit to the run to a comedic degree, and with Herbert injured, the team may exceed its 35.5 rushing attempts per game, even if the Steelers' defensive front is a whole heck of a lot harder to run against than the Las Vegas Raiders or the Carolina Panthers.
