Two AFC teams fighting for playoff positioning battle on Sunday Night Football when the Los Angeles Chargers host the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The pregame narrative: Pittsburgh is coming off a big win over the Indianapolis Colts, but is a slim road underdog at SoFi Stadium against an L.A. team which is lighting up the scoreboard.
Check out our top Steelers vs. Chargers MNF TD picks, featuring Kimani Vidal and Darnell Washington.

Steelers vs. Chargers TD picks: Week 10
Best bet: Vidal to score a TD (+120)
These odds seem too good to be true.
Los Angeles' running back room has been decimated by injuries. Najee Harris, Hassan Haskins, and Omarion Hampton are sidelined, meaning Vidal is the team's bell-cow.
-> Bet on Vidal to score on Sunday Night Football
And he's made the most of that opportunity.
In the last four weeks, the 2024 sixth-round pick has turned 62 carries into 291 yards (4.7 YPA) and a score. He's also caught nine passes with one receiving TD.
Vidal should get the lion's share of opportunities against a suspect Steelers defence. Pittsburgh is allowing the third-most yards per game (383.8) and ranks 26th in EPA per rush, per RBSDM.com.
It needed six turnovers to limit the Colts to 20 points, but still gave up a whopping 368 yards.
Los Angeles is 3-1 in its last four games while averaging 29.3 PPG. I expect it to move the ball down the field, and for Vidal to get the red-zone looks.
Key stat: Vidal has received 16 of L.A.'s 18 red-zone carries in the last four weeks.
Sunday Night Football TD picks
Washington to score a TD (+360): I'm going for a big plus-money play by backing Washington.
The 6-foot-7, 265-pound tight end is a red-zone nightmare for opposing defences, and is becoming a favourite of Aaron Rodgers.
- Washington had zero receptions and just one target in the first three weeks of the season.
- He's caught 13 of 20 targets for 127 yards and a TD in the five games since.
Pittsburgh has Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith in the TE room, too, but Washington's elite run blocking has caught Mike Tomlin's attention.
