The Los Angeles Chargers are now without their starting two tackles, with Joe Alt sidelined for the season with an injury. They have tried to remedy the situation by trading for Trevor Penning on Tuesday's trade deadline.

Penning will get put to the test in the Week 10 edition of Sunday Night Football when the Chargers take on one of the best pass rushes in the league. Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for Steelers vs. Chargers.

Steelers vs. Chargers Key Player to Watch

  • T.J. Watt, DE - Pittsburgh Steelers

This could end up being a huge game for the Steelers' pass-rusher, T.J. Watt, who now gets to go up against a Chargers' offensive line that has allowed the highest pressure rate in the NFL. Watt has five sacks, six tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles, four pass deflections, and an interception this season.

Steelers vs. Chargers Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I broke down why I'm taking the field goal with the Steelers:

The Los Angeles Chargers have a real problem ahead of them with Joe Alt joining Rashawn Slater on the IR. Now, they're without their two starting offensive tackles, which is terrible news for the team, which is already allowing the highest pressure rate per dropback at 26.5%. Now, they have to take on one of the best pass rushes in the NFL. The Steelers, spearheaded by T.J. Watt, have a pressure rate of 22.7% while sporting the third most sacks in the league this season with 27.

If the Steelers can create pressure on Justin Herbert, which all signs point to them being able to do so, this game is going to be a close one on Sunday Night Football.

It's also worth noting that the Chargers' defense has regressed ever since the strong start to the season. They rank 17th in defensive DVOA while allowing 5.2 yards per play.
