It looked, then, like a potential playoff preview. A month into the season, with the Chargers surging and the Steelers barely alive, it looked like a game that would be flexed out of Prime Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we\u2019re back to playoff preview because around 100 or so AFC teams have at least five wins and are vying for six of the seven open postseason bracket spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NFL Picks Week 11 + College Football Odds | BetOnline All Access\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VwGuA2Zo-CA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be the 35<sup>th<\/sup> all time meeting between the two franchises. Pittsburgh holds a significant edge, 24-10. Los Angeles has just three victories over the Steelers since 1995. Pittsburgh won their last match up, 24-17 in 2019. Delvin Hodges got the start for the Steelers then, throwing for 132 yards, a touchdown and a pick in the victory. Benny Snell rushed 17 times for 75 yards. James Conner led the Steelers in receiving, catching seven passes for 78 yards and a TD. Philip Rivers threw for 320 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Hunter Henry caught eight passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns for the Chargers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PITTSBURGH<\/strong><strong> STEELERS AT LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (-5.5, O\/U: 47)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, Calif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Broadcast:<\/strong> NBC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kickoff:<\/strong> Nov. 21, 8:20 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PITTSBURGH<\/strong><strong> STEELERS (5-3)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Steelers roll into this game after disappointing al of America with a 16-16 tie in overtime with the Detroit Lions, depriving us all of the NFL\u2019s first 0-17 franchise. Mason Rudolph got the start for an injured Ben Roethlisberger and was significantly worse than his stat line makes him look. He finished 30 of 50 for 242 yards, one touchdown and one pick. Najee Harris rushed 26 times for 105 yards and Diontae Johnson caught seven passes for 83 yards. The Steelers defense sacked Jared Goff four times and held him to 114 yards passing. Goff\u2019s best play of the night was getting sacked by TJ Watt, a play that actually knocked Watt from the game with a knee injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (5-4)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Los Angeles\u2019 midseason stumble continued as they lost 27-20 to the Minnesota Vikings in SoFi. The Chargers have dropped three of their last four games. Justin Herbert finished 20 of 34 for 195 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Ausitn Ekelar was mainly held in check, rushing 11 times for 44 yards and Keenan Allen caught eight passes for 98 yards. LA\u2019s defense sacked Kirk Cousins twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THE PICK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chargers have done nothing but burn me all year, or at least since October, but I have to believe they can knock off a battered Pittsburgh team at home (even though the crowd will be mostly Steelers fans). TJ Watt will probably miss the game and there\u2019s no clear cut return for Roethlisberger either. Of course, the Los Angeles might not be at full strength with Joey Bosa on the COVID-19 list thanks to a close contact and the fact that he is, of course, unvaccinated. If he\u2019s lucky and didn\u2019t catch it, he could come off the list Saturday. <strong>Chargers 27, Steelers 13 (without Roethisberger), Chargers 27, Steelers 23 (with Roethlisberger)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Last week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Straight up:<\/strong> 6-7-1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Against the spread:<\/strong> 6-8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Season<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Straight up:<\/strong> 89-60-1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Against the spread:<\/strong> 74-76<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Follow Adam Greene on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheFirstMan\">@TheFirstMan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NFL season is rolling along and the Week 11 Schedule is up and <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl\">taking bets at BetOnline.AG<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Follow our BetOnline <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/betonline_ag\">Twitter accoun<\/a>t for the latest sports news and betting odds, and stay tuned on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/betonline_ag\/\">Instagram feed<\/a> for more good information too<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY ADAM GREENE This game has taken an odd turn since it first showed up on the NFL\u2019s schedule back&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":15255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19968"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19968\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19982,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19968\/revisions\/19982"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
