Road Steelers Come in as Underdogs

The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a pressing situation as they desperately need to ignite their offense. Thus far, the Steelers have managed a meager 33 points for the season, with a notable 14 of those points coming courtesy of their defense.

The offensive woes persist, as they only mustered a solitary touchdown in both Game 1 and Game 2. Their ground game is equally underwhelming, ranking 31st in the entire National Football League with a mere 48 yards per game.

Najee Harris, a key figure in their offensive plans, has seen his share of opportunities. Examining his stats reveals 16 carries but just 74 yards to accompany them.

The standout offensive moment from the recent Monday Night Football showdown was Kenny Pickett’s connection with George Pickens, resulting in the sole offensive touchdown. Pickens has amassed 163 yards through 9 receptions this season.

Adding to their challenges, Pittsburgh faces back-to-back road games, with the upcoming clash against the Texans in Houston.

The Steelers’ players acknowledge their good fortune to be at a 1-1 record and understand the imperative need to elevate their performance starting from Week 3 and onward.

Home Opener in Sin City

As the Las Vegas Raiders prepare for their inaugural home game of the season, they eagerly anticipate the comfort of their own turf. Their homecoming coincides with a string of high-profile matchups, including the impending visit of the Pittsburgh Steelers and a Week 5 showdown with the Green Bay Packers, both under the prime-time spotlight.

However, the Raiders, much like the Steelers, have been grappling with offensive struggles, ranking a lowly 30th in rushing yards, averaging just 58 yards per game.

Josh Jacobs, their star running back, has been visibly frustrated, mustering a mere 46 yards on 28 carries throughout the season. On the flip side, wide receiver Davante Adams stands as the linchpin of the Raiders’ passing game, boasting impressive stats of 12 receptions, 150 yards, and a touchdown.

Currently perched atop the AFC West alongside the Kansas City Chiefs, the Raiders outpace the winless Chargers and Broncos in the 2023 season. Despite these challenges, the Las Vegas Raiders maintain steady odds, buoyed by a consistent quarterback presence.

The Las Vegas Raiders get their first opportunity to play before their home crowd. Sure, the Pittsburgh Steelers will bring many fans to this game, but Allegiant Stadium is the home of the Raiders and the home of the Super Bowl.

Look for the Raiders to get the offense going more than previously and get on track. Jacobs and Adams finally get the touches they need, and the home team moves to 2-1 on the season. The Steelers fall to 1-2 with their inability to score consistently.

Take the Las Vegas Raiders -2.5 over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
