Las Vegas Raiders vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction
Last week against the Bills, the Raiders could not stop turning the ball over as they coughed up the ball 3 times and lost in a blowout by a score of 38-10. The Raiders were actually up 7-0 after scoring the first TD of the game, but things quickly turned for them as they then got outscored 38-3 to finish the game. There were not too many bright spots in the game but one of them was Davante Adams who appears to have an early connection with Jimmy G, as he has put up 6 catches and at least 66 yards in both games to this point.
On the other side, the Steelers are coming off a roller coaster win on Monday Night Football as they beat the Browns in a thriller on a defensive touchdown by JJ Watt. While it was a great team win for the Steelers to avoid going 0-2, their offense greatly struggled for most of the game. Other than a long touchdown to George Pickens they could not get anything going. The Steelers' defense actually scored more points in that game than their offense did. The running game with Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris has been nearly nonexistent and I am not sure Kenny Pickett has the talent to make enough throws to win this game. Pickett has not been impressive at all to this point, and I know he has played 2 pretty good defenses but he has to show me a little more before I back him on the road in a big-time game. With that being said, I am rolling with RAIDERS ML at -142 for 1U as my most confident NFL Play for tonight’s Sunday Night Football showdown.
