Pittsburgh Steelers at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) and Las Vegas Raiders (1-1) meet Sunday night at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Steelers vs. Raiders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Steelers covered as 2-point dogs to the Cleveland Browns last week in a 26-22 victory. The Steelers had 2 defensive scores, and QB Kenny Pickett managed the game just well enough to sneak by. He was 15 of 30 for 222 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. WR George Pickens had 4 grabs for 127 yards and a score. Pittsburgh is 1-1 ATS and 1-1 O/U.

The Raiders failed to cover as 7.5-point dogs to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 as they were smoked 38-10. RB Josh Jacobs rushed 9 times for -2 yards, and QB Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 185 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs. Vegas is 1-1 ATS and O/U on the season.

Steelers at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Steelers 20, Raiders 14

Moneyline

This game figures to be a grind-it-out affair on the ground. The Steelers allow 193 rushing yards per game, which is the worst in the league. The Raiders are 27th at 138.5 rushing yards allowed per game.

Pittsburgh will try to dominate on the ground and eat up clock. RB Najee Harris has yet to really get going with 16 rushes for 74 yards on the season. Look for him to test that yardage threshold in this game. I’ll take the STEELERS +125 at plus-money.

Against the spread

The Steelers are at a value catching nearly a field goal at even-money. The Raiders will try to air it out a bit, but in a game that figures to be about time of possession, the Steelers match up well.

I like the STEELERS +2.5 (+100) whether you take the ML or not.

Over/Under

As mentioned, this game figures to be a grind between the tackles. Neither offense has had much success thus far as the Steelers have combined for 34 points, and the Raiders have scored just 27 in 2 games. The Raiders are 4-6 O/U in their last 10, and Pittsburgh is 5-5.

This game screams UNDER 43 (-110).
