Stephen Nover's Sunday Night Blockbuster
(NFL) LA Chargers vs. Pittsburgh,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -120.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: -3.00 | -120.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
I want the Steelers going for me on national television at home after they self-destructed last week in a road loss to the Broncos despite dominating the yardage battle by having a minus four turnover ratio.
Philip Rivers is having a great season, but Ben Roethlisberger trumps him when playing at home especially in December. Roethlisberger has his main weapons while Rivers is down star running back Melvin Gordon. The Steelers lead the NFL in sacks with 39. The Chargers have surrendered seven sacks in their past two games.
The Chargers also have key injuries on defense down tackle Corey Liuget and linebacker Denzel Perryman. That really hurts their run defense and sets up Roethlisberger's dangerous play action.
Pittsburgh has a history of winning late season big games and making the playoffs. The Chargers don't. The Chargers are hurt by poor special teams and questionable coaching.
