The Chargers are chasing a playoff spot behind Justin Herbert and a young core thatâs starting to click. The Steelers are fighting to stay in the playoff race, leaning on Aaron Rodgersâ experience and poise to stabilize an inconsistent offense. Los Angeles owns one of the leagueâs most pass-happy attacks. Pittsburgh keeps finding ways to hang around even when the defense breaks down. This matchup at SoFi Stadium features several sharp prop angles worth targeting.
Aaron Rodgers Over 215.5 Passing Yards
Rodgers hasnât had a vintage season but continues to flash moments of control and precision within the Steelersâ offense. He has multiple touchdown passes in five of eight games and has topped 223 yards three times this year. The Chargers are holding opponents to 177 passing yards per game, which ranks third in the NFL, so Rodgers will need volume to reach this number.
Pittsburghâs run game ranks among the leagueâs weakest, forcing Rodgers into more dropbacks. Expect Los Angeles to jump ahead early, then the game script should push Rodgers toward the over.

Justin Herbert Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
Justin Herbert has thrown multiple touchdowns in six of nine games and continues to dominate in red-zone efficiency. The Steelers own the NFLâs worst pass defense, allowing more than 278 yards per game and a steady diet of explosive plays downfield.
Herbert has cleared this number in two straight weeks and now faces a secondary that struggles to defend layered route concepts. Expect the Chargers to lean on tempo and early-down aggression, with Herbert connecting on at least two scoring throws to keep Los Angelesâ offense rolling.

Ladd McConkey Over 62.5 Receiving Yards
Ladd McConkey has emerged as Herbertâs most trusted target, commanding a 23.5 percent share of the offense. He faces a Pittsburgh defense ranked 30th in passing yards allowed per game, a matchup that should funnel opportunities his way.
McConkey has cleared 55 yards in consecutive outings and continues to separate cleanly against man coverage. Even with Jalen Ramsey likely shadowing at times, McConkeyâs speed off the line and timing with Herbert give him an excellent chance to push well past this total.

Oronde Gadsden Anytime Touchdown (+175)
The Steelers have struggled to defend tight ends all season, tied for the second-most touchdowns surrendered. Gadsden has scored in two of his last four games and is catching passes at an 88 percent rate.
His connection with Herbert has grown each week, particularly near the goal line. Pittsburghâs defense gives up consistent yardage on seam routes and play-action leaks, both of which fit Gadsdenâs game. At plus odds, this touchdown prop carries strong value.

Conclusion
The Chargers enter this matchup with an explosive offense and a quarterback playing at a high level. The Steelers bring veteran steadiness and enough playmakers to keep pace but continue to rely on Rodgers to mask defensive flaws. Look for Los Angeles to control the tempo and for this game to deliver plenty of passing volume on both sides.
