It appears the Jim Harbaugh era is going swimmingly early on. The Los Angeles Chargers, after starting the season 0-2 a year ago, have done the opposite to start 2024. The Chargers‘ run game looks like one of the best in the NFL. JK Dobbins is playing like a true star, and even former first-round draft pick Quentin Johnston is looking halfway decent. What a turnaround for this team.

However, the celebration may get put on hold in Week 3. Although the Pittsburgh Steelers have not boasted a tremendous offense, their defense has been exactly what we’ve come to expect from this franchise: tough, stingy, and downright demoralizing. The Steelers have not looked like a massively impressive team, but at 2-0 with wins over the Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos, it’s hard to deny them the possibility of an AFC North title.

While both teams in this matchup have exceeded expectations early on, only one can emerge victorious. Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 3 showdown.
