Oakland Raiders at Pittsburgh Steelers
Sunday, November 21, 2010 at 1:00 PM EST on CBS
The Raiders had week ten off after pulling an overtime win against Kansas City, their third straight. The Raiders have been playing 110 percent the last few weeks and have impressed everyone even if they will not admit it. The Raiders are 5-4, 1st in the AFC. They have three games left on the schedule against teams they have already beaten this year so there has to be a real sense of optimism in the clubhouse. Right now they rank 2nd in rushing (but 25th in passing) and 2nd in opposing passing yards (but 24th in opp. Rushing yards) so they are getting production on both sides of the ball even if it is one dimensional.
Pittsburgh has looked rather human as of late, especially after losing last week to New England 39-26. The one place they outplay the Raiders is on preventing the rush, where they rank first by limiting opponents to 63.2. That’s disastrous news for Raiders fans and their one-dimensional play.
The Raiders will finally hit a wall capable of stopping their run.
The odds makers have the Pittsburgh Steelers as a -7 point favorite with an over/under of 41.5.
