Spread: Steelers-2.5Over/Under: 39Moneyline: Raiders +122;Steelers -147The Steelers are short home favorites heading into Saturday's game against the Raiders. Pittsburgh has been decent against the spread this season (7-6-1), but the Steelers are 1-4 ATS after a win this season. The Raiders are 2-3 ATS after a win this season and 2-2 as a road underdog. The total is set at 39, which is not surprising, as it will be extremely cold in Pittsburgh with a 10-15 mph wind. The Raiders lead the all-time series against the Steelers Nolan Ryan Jersey with a record of 17-13 and have won the past two matchups. The last time these two teams played each other, the Raiders defeated the Steelers 26-17 in the Steelers in Week 2 of the 2021 season. Derek Carr completed 28-of-37 pa ses for 382 yards and two TDs in the win, while Steelers WR Diontae Johnson had nine receptions (12 targets) for 105 yards. -- The Steelers are 2-4 straight up on the money line and 2-3-1 against the spread at home this season, .-- The Raiders are 2-6 straight up on the money line and 3-5 ATS on the road this season, .-- Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is 82-28 straight up on the moneyline as a home favorite, . The battle of the RBs: Josh Jacobs vs. Najee HarrisIf you are a fan of running the football, you'll be in for a treat on Saturday night when Jacobs and Harris square off against each other. Jacobs has exceeded all preseason expectations and has cemented himself as Alex Bregman Jersey a top-five running back this season. He leads the NFL in rushing with 1,495 yards and has 11 rushing touchdowns (tied for fifth in the NFL). Jacobs is one of the reasons why the Raiders are playing better, as he's averaging 134.8 rushing yards in his past five games. He will try to reach the 100-yard threshold against a Steelers' defense that has allowed just 109 rushing yards per game this season.As for Harris, he got off to a slow start but has picked it up a bit over the past several weeks. Since Week 10, he's averaging 71.5 rushing yards per game with five touchdowns. If the Steelers want to snap their two-game home losing streak, they need Harris at his absolute best against a Raiders' defense that allows 117.4 rushing yards per game this season.Look out for a big game from Davante AdamsThe superstar wide receiver has been held to seven receptions (16 targets) for 99 yards and zero touchdowns in the past two games. However, we don't expect him to stay quiet on Saturday night against a suspect Steelers' secondary that has struggled to defend wide receivers this season. Pittsburgh has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards and 16 touchdowns to wide receivers through 15 weeks. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Carr force-feed the ball to Adams, who should dominate his matchup on the outside.Kenny Pickett is back under center for PittsburghAfter mi sing last week's game against the Panthers with Lance McCullers Jersey a concu sion, Pickett is line to start on Christmas Eve against the Raiders. The rookie quarterback looked rough in his first five starts, but he's starting to settle down and play mistake-free football. The Steelers will need to lean on Harris and protect Pickett, as Las Vegas has two good edge rushers in Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones who can take over a game by themselves. If Pickett can pa s this test on Saturday night, the Steelers might have found their guy for the foreseeable future. 68. That's the Raiders' completion percentage allowed, which is the fourth-highest in the NFL. Pickett is completing 65 percent of his pa ses this season, which is not bad for a rookie QB who is getting adjusted to the NFL game. In his last start against the Falcons, Pickett completed 16-of-28 pa ses for 197 yards and a touchdown. If the Steelers' offensive line can hold up against the Raiders' aggre sive pa s rush Pickett should be able to pick up apart a Raiders' secondary that allows 23.8 pa s completions per game. It's hard to know which Raiders or Steelers team will show up each week. However, if I had to trust a team in this spot, it's the Raiders. I think they will lean on Josh Jacobs, and, if succe sful, it Hector Rondon Jersey should open up the pa sing game for Derek Carr and Co. Pittsburgh's defense has played better lately, but it's still allowing 20.4 points per game over the past five games. Pickett will have one of his better games, but it won't be enough, as the Raiders' defense comes through for the second-straight week.PREDICTION: Raiders 24, Steelers 20. The Raiders will cover (+2.5), and the total will go OVER (39).
