Jim Harbaugh gets humbled this weekend.

Steelers my largest player of season.

Like them as well this week. Conf game, non division. Both teams coming off win. Trends to the home team. 

It's been long time ago that the Steelers hadn't have a home opening season game on 2-0. Haven't had one after Big Ben era.

Acrisure Stadium will be rocked like hell.

Go Steelers.

Jim says "Thank you"

Will this be like the Jet/49er game? 

Most pundits think the Chargers are in the top 5 in Power Rankings. Most have Steelers at 15. That¡¯s not too far off but the QB play favors the Chargers. Chargers defense is good. I will probably take the Chargers. Good luck. 

GL  on your play @ActionMagnet 

Herbert: W/L 2-0(against panthers and raiders) 31-46(67%) 274 yds 3tds 1int

Fields: W/L 2-0( against broncos and falcons) 30-43(70%) 273 yds 1td 1int

Yoi wrote that and still asked me if Herbert is better? 3 TD¡¯s is bettter than 1c FYI. 

I have a strong feeling that the Chargers will run straight at TJ Watt. I would, that is what you do against a game wrecker, make him put his own skin in the game and pummel him with big bodies. It will be a long day for him. 
The Steelers are due for a stinker and their offense isn't scoring points. Plus Harbaugh coaches players up whereas Tomlin gives great interviews and provides great sound bites if that is your thing. I prefer a head coach who coaches and game plans. 
The Super Chargers all the way in this one. 

The first point in bold is what the Cardinals and Paris Johnson Jr did last year. Granted, not every team has a gigantic, motivated, pissed off guy like Paris, but if you have the personnel it certainly worked. Watt complained after the game, but in reality Paris showed up ready to pick a fight for 60 minutes straight and it wore on them.

The second point is why I thought the Steelers might be bad this year. It¡¯s really difficult to win when you don¡¯t score 22 ppg bc you don¡¯t score TDs, but lo and behold Tomlin¡¯s Steelers are doing it again. 

Good luck AM.

 Similar teams who are running the ball and playing Defense and not asking too much out of the QB.  This game will probably come down to what qb makes the plays in the 4th quarter.  

Agree b/c of b2b trips east of the Mississippi 

Dvoa says Chargers #3, Pitt #8

@rosswin97

 Fields is better than Herbert? In what world? What an atrocious take. 

Is the wrong team favored, like in that Jets/49ers game?

I think this is going to be one of the most interesting games to watch this weekend. Are the Chargers for real? They certainly look improved and have talent. Alohi Gillman and Derwin James are Pro Bowl caliber safeties and Bosa and Mack are elite pass rushers when healthy. A lot of people forget that Mack had 17 sacks last year, I believe.

I think the way to play this game, because the total is so low, is to include it in teasers and get the Chargers above the key number of 7. I personally lean Steelers in this spot though, just too much defense at home. They will stop the run, Chargers will have difficulty passing to Johnston and Palmer.
