Expert predictions for LA, which wants to remain undefeated

The Los Angeles Chargers started the season 2-0 and have been very good at the beginning. The team is traveling to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. It is a duel between two undefeated teams.

It could be a tough test for the Bolts, especially since quarterback Justin Herbert is questionable. If Herbert misses the game, things could get even more difficult for Los Angeles.

Backup quarterback Easton Stick would take over and try to get his first career win. The hope is that Herbert can try and we can see a great matchup between two strong teams in the AFC.

But who will win this showdown? Here at Chargers on Sports Illustrated, we have our staff predictions for the game for you.

Matt Levine: Playing this game with a healthy Justin Herbert would have been tough for Los Angeles, but even if Herbert can play, he'll likely be a little hampered. Pittsburgh has been defined by its defense this season, and playing in the Steel City isn't easy for any team. Offensively, it's going to be an ugly game, but the Chargers finally find their match this week, losing their first game of the season to the Steelers.

Valentina Martinez: The Chargers are off to a 3-0 start on the season. Their Week 3 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers will be another game in their favor. The real test for the Chargers comes in Week 4 when they face the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ricardo Sandoval: The Chargers will have their first real test of the season in Week 3 when they face the 2-0 Steelers. The Chargers have looked great so far, dominating in the trenches and throwing the ball at teams everywhere. This week will not be so easy, as the Steelers defense ranks 2nd in opponent points per game, 5th in opponent yards per game, and 1st in opponent touchdowns per game. Add to that the fact that Justin Herbert is questionable due to a high ankle sprain, and LA could be in trouble in Week 3.

Eva Geitheim: I believe the Chargers will beat the Steelers and it will be Harbaugh's first win with the Chargers. The big question will be if Dobbins can get going against the Steelers run defense, which has been strong the last two weeks. *If Herbert doesn't play, I believe the Steelers will win
