Also, rather surprising, I guess, but Jim Harbaugh wins
00:07
football games wherever he coaches and the Steelers win
00:10
football games under Mike Tomlin. What a matchup we have
00:14
in the Steel City on Sunday. Just a point and a half in
00:18
favor of the Steelers minus 120 on the money line. It is the
00:21
lowest total of the entirety of the week three slate at 35 and
00:26
a hook. Quarterback questions the title of the game board,
00:29
Joe and that is fair. Justin Herbert dealing with an ankle
00:32
injury. He suffered late in Carolina last week. Not sure it
00:36
matters. Jim Harbaugh can suit up and hand the ball to JK
00:38
Dobbins 50 times in this game and we still expect it to be
00:43
Justin Fields starting for Pittsburgh. Joe, let's go big
00:47
picture first before we dive into the game. Is Justin Fields
00:50
going to start the majority of the games at the quarterback
00:53
spot this year in favor of Russell Wilson? Well, that's a
00:57
great question here, Ben, because he is just one of, I
01:01
read one of three quarterbacks that has not thrown a
01:05
turnover-worthy throw. In other words, he didn't throw it two
01:09
yards. It should have been picked, Ben, but it wasn't
01:11
picked kind of throw where we've seen a lot of guys. He has not
01:14
had one of those. Is that even remotely close for a guy that
01:19
has had 41 turnovers in the last three years? Is that even
01:23
possible to sustain? At some point, I think Justin Fields
01:28
going to turn into a pumpkin. Those throws, those
01:31
turnover-worthy throws will end up as a turnover and guess
01:34
what? Russell Wilson will be there. So, enjoy it while you
01:38
can. They're going to have to rely on his arm at some point
01:42
and I think that'll be the determining factor if he stays
01:45
on the center. They have not asked him to do a ton, 43 pass
01:50
attempts in total. He is thrown for 156 yards or less in both
01:55
but he has done what has been necessary. You would be
01:58
surprised. I kid to know the Steelers have also been under
02:02
in both of their first two games this year. Same case
02:06
though for the Chargers. Why? They are going to run it down
02:09
your throat if they are able to. Justin Herbert, Joe, I joked
02:13
that his ankle injury wasn't really a big deal because Jim
02:17
Harbaugh could be there but Herbert, in his five years now
02:20
in the national football league, has thrown for less than
02:23
30 attempts in a game in back-to-back games for the
02:27
first time ever. That's what happened this season to begin.
02:32
So, as we look at this game, it's close to a pick them. It's
02:36
a point and a half spread. The total is low at 35 and a hook.
02:40
Which way are you leaning for Sunday in the Steel City? This
02:44
game comes down to whether or not that rookie right tackle
02:47
Joe Ault, remember Ben there? The big guy. I know that they
02:51
ended up drafting in the top round. Yeah. Can he hold his
02:55
own against TJ Y? If he can and gives Herbert time to throw,
03:00
Chargers win. If he doesn't, you know what happens there in
03:03
Pittsburgh.
