On Sunday both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders were able to pull off wins. This week these two teams will square off on a Christmas Eve prime-time showdown. Both teams come into the game at 6-8 and clinging to the slimmest of hopes of making the playoffs.

With these two teams so similar you knew the line would be close and it is. The line opened at Tipico Sportsbook with the Steelers just 2.5-point home favorites.

The Raiders lead the all-time series 17-13 and have won the last two matchups. Saturday’s game will be a celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the greatest play in NFL history, the Immaculate Reception.
