Struggling Steelers visit San DiegoSaturday NFL PreviewThe Pittsburgh Steelers might be the defending Super Bowl champions, but that title isn't doing much for them right now. The Steelers have lost two straight games, are in third place in the AFC North, have allowed more points than they've scored, and have the same number of victories as the Cleveland Browns. The San Diego Chargers started the season with two straight wins - but they were over league doormats Oakland (27-0) and Tennessee (40-7). The Chargers came up short against a good team last week, losing 16-13 to the undefeated Baltimore Ravens. That loss dropped San Diego into a tie with the Denver Broncos atop the AFC West division, and tripled their points-allowed this season. Sign up to SBG Global and start winning today!

So both Pittsburgh and San Diego will be looking to make a statement when they meet on the gridiron at Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday night (with kickoff at 8:15pm ET on NBC). The Steelers will be trying to show that they're still an elite team, and not a step below the other AFC powers. The Chargers will be trying to show that they can beat a football team that isn't currently winless on the season. The oddsmakers have the Chargers pegged as slight home favorites right now, listing the game at San Diego -3. The Chargers had no troubling covering the spread in their wins over Oakland and Tennessee, but they were tagged with an ATS loss against the Ravens. Pittsburgh covered the spread in Week 1 against Miami, but picked up ATS losses in contests against Jacksonville and Cincinnati. 1800 Sports is back with plenty of free football predictions from the Worlds best handicappers! The total for Sunday's night game is currently sitting at 37.5 points. The Steelers are 2-1 OVER/UNDER this season, and are averaging 16 points scored and 18 points allowed in 2006. San Diego is 1-2 OVER/UNDER so far this year, and are averaging 26.7 points scored and 7.7 points allowed through their three games. These two teams met once last season, with the Steelers coming away with a 24-22 road victory on October 10. San Diego had been favored by 3 points in that game, while the combined score fell UNDER the posted total of 47 points. The last time San Diego beat Pittsburgh was way back on January 15, 1995, when the Chargers won 17-13 on the road. The Steelers had been 6.5-point favorites in that playoff contest, and the combined score was an UNDER result. Do you know who is going to win the NCAA Men's Championship?
