Overview
- Kickoff is 8:20 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium, with national TV coverage on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
- Los Angeles enters 6-3 after two straight wins, while Pittsburgh is 5-3 following a 27-20 upset of the Colts.
- The Chargers’ offensive front remains thinned with Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater out for the season, Bobby Hart ruled out, and Mekhi Becton working through injury.
- Pittsburgh’s defense forced six takeaways last week, and analysts note Justin Herbert’s eight interceptions this season as a key pressure point.
- Sportsbooks list the Chargers as roughly 2.5–3.5 point favorites, with betting attention on a Herbert interception prop and a bullish outlook for Jaylen Warren against L.A.’s run defense.
