This is the lowest total in the NFL on Sunday, but I’m not going to overthink it, I’m taking the under. These are the league’s two best defenses, with Los Angeles surrendering 6.5 points per game (1st) and Pittsburgh conceding only 8.0 points per contest (2nd). Both teams have a 100% red zone success rate defensively, which are best in the NFL. For this one, we have a lean towards taking the under, with the O/U line sitting at just 34.5 points. Our prediction is that these teams will combine for 35 points, making the over is a good bet to considering with a 7-point teaser. The Los Angeles Chargers (2-0) enter the matchup with the league’s best scoring defense, allowing a mere 6.5 points per game. Not far behind, the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) rank second, surrendering just 8.0 points per game. Both teams have showcased elite front sevens and disciplined secondaries, making it difficult for offenses to find success. injuries could play a significant role in the outcome of this game. Aside from Herbert’s status, the Chargers are dealing with several other key injuries. Wide receiver Joshua Palmer (elbow/calf) did not practice on Wednesday, and linebacker Bud Dupree (illness), a former Steeler, was also sidelined. Star linebacker Joey Bosa (hip) was a limited participant in practice, raising further concerns for Los Angeles.
There is such a lack of star talent out wide for both of these teams, that neither squad will have much in terms of vertical threats in this game. I think we’re going to see a lot of running the football at loaded boxes on the defensive side. With two mid-tier quarterbacks and a lack of weapons surrounding them. The Miami Dolphins are currently struggling on offense, averaging just 15.0 points per game, ranking 27th in the league. On the other hand, their defense is allowing 24.0 points per game, ranking 23rd. Having Skylar Thompson at quarterback is not going to help matters. Seattle will be all over their running game.

Latest props, stats and trends for Jerome Ford. He averages 46.9 rushing yards over his last 20 games. ******Jerome Ford Over 49.5 rushing yards -112*****
The Bears are on the road for a second straight week, and they are facing a desperate 0-2 team. Two struggling offenses. CHI can't protect rookie QB Caleb Williams (nine sacks), and Bears have worst yards-per-play in league. And Indy's Anthony Richardson already has let fly four INTs. Teams can run on Colts, but De'Andre Swift has been stuck in mud. So we'll anxiously trust Nags in home dome in near pick-'em game. The Bears will have to protect Caleb Williams better. He has taken league-high nine sacks in two games, but they can keep it on the ground against a bad rushing defense that has allowed 237 yards per game through two weeks. The Colts have issues, too, but Anthony Richardson will make a few big plays at home to help Indianapolis avoid a 0-3 start. Williams makes it a coin flip with the possibility of late-game heroics, but we'll take the home team. The Colts have been gashed in the run game the past few weeks, which could mean a lot of D'Andre Swift. Both Anthony Richardson and Caleb Williams have to play better, but this is a tough spot for Richardson. Even so, I think he plays the better of the two.
