Las Vegas Raiders - NFL Betting Analysis
This week, the Raiders will look to keep things rolling after picking up a 30-24 over the New England Patriots. Las Vegas entered the game, as -2.5 point favorites, and went on to cover the spread. By the end of the game, the teams combined for 54 points, surpassing the betting line of 45. On their way to picking up a 6-point win, Las Vegas held a 4-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 17-13. Through 14 games, the Raiders have an ATS record of 7-7. So far, they have an over-under record of 7-6-1. This week's betting total of 39.5 is lower than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Raiders offense is averaging 24.1 points per game, placing them 10th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Steelers defense ranked 13th in points per game. Las Vegas could especially find success in the passing game, as the Steelers are just 24th in pass yards per game. Moving the ball could be more difficult vs the run, however, as the Steelers are 7th in fewest rushing yards allowed.
Pittsburgh Steelers - NFL Betting Analysis
Pittsburgh will look to add on another win, as they picked up a non-conference victory over the Carolina Panthers (24-16). In the game, Pittsburgh picked up an ATS win, as they were the 3.0-point underdogs. In terms of the over-under, the teams combined for 40 points, which surpassed the betting line of 37. Despite being the 3.0-point underdogs heading into the game, the Steelers held a 14-point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 14 games, the Steelers have an ATS record of 7-6-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-8. This week's betting total of 39.5 is right in line with their previous games.
As the Steelers prepare to take on Las Vegas, they are ranked 27th in scoring at 17.9 points per game. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Raiders defense giving up 24 points per game. Although the Steelers come into the game ranked just 24th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Las Vegas secondary that is vulnerable through the air. On the ground, Pittsburgh is 18th in the league at 116.1 yards per game.
