Raiders at Steelers picks and predictions
Prediction
Steelers 17, Raiders 16
Moneyline
The Steelers have begun winning games with their defense. They have not allowed more than 17 points to an opponent in their last 4 games.
The Raiders have averaged 28.3 points per game in their last 4 games and have not won a game scoring fewer than 22 points.
The Steelers have not won a game when an opponent scored more than 20.
In the cold of Pittsburgh at night, it will be close.
BET STEELERS (-130).
Against the spread
The Raiders are 7-7 ATS compared to the Steelers’ 7-6-1 ATS mark this season.
If this is going to a low-scoring affair, it could come down to just a couple of points, a late touchdown or late field goal.
I like the Steelers to win but am not confident they can or win by at least 3.
Betting the moneyline is still decent value and you get a couple of points to play with.
PASS.
Over/Under
The 38-point projected total is low. But with an expected high temperature of 13 degrees on Saturday, game conditions will be much colder at night.
Two of the Steelers’ last 4 games have finished with fewer than 38 points.
The Raiders’ 1 loss in the last month was a 17-16 affair.
BET UNDER 38 (-108).
