2025 Steelers Schedule Preview: Week 10 at the Los Angeles Chargers
It’s the official lull of the NFL offseason, and that means it provides enough time to go over things which you might not have time to dive into when the news and storylines are rampant. One of the things which is always something I want to do is an in-depth preview on the schedule. When the schedule gets released it involves a very knee jerk reaction from the fan base, but not a lot of introspection happens once the dust settles.
Well, if you’re like me, you’re in luck. This is the detailed breakdown of the Steelers 2025 regular season schedule, by week.
Week 10 vs. the Los Angeles Chargers

TV: NBC
Betting Line: Chargers (-4.5) / Total: 43.5 / Moneyline: Colts -218 / Steelers +180

Projected Starting QB Matchup: Aaron Rodgers vs. Justin Herbert
Analysis: There is something about the Steelers going to the west coast in prime time which I don’t necessarily love. Maybe it was more of a Ben Roethlisberger issue, considering the Steelers have done better on the west coast since his retirement, but west coast games will always give me some trepidation.
According to my previous weekly predictions, I have the Steelers heading into this game with a 6-2 record, but this is a game which doesn’t look great for me. Sure, it’s on paper, but the Chargers have the look of a ground-and-pound team. Just the kind of team Jim Harbaugh wants to have when he’s the one holding the reigns.
I do believe the Steelers will have a better response to a Greg Roman style offense, but this game doesn’t look like a good matchup to me. The Steelers will keep it close, but the first game of the daunting second half of the season doesn’t bode well for the black-and-gold.
The loss moves their record to 6-3 before another AFC North game, this time a home game vs. the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11.
Prediction: Chargers 24, Steelers 20
