The Oakland Raiders aren’t looking like the same team we’ve seen over the last decade for a multitude of reasons, thanks largely in part to a young offense that’s finding its groove. But in light of Week 8’s 34-20 victory over the New York Jets, Oakland will need to gain some consistency. Derek Carr’s squad, who closed as 3-point underdogs in that game, are just 2-10 SU and ATS in their last 12 games after winning as dogs the previous week.
- The Raiders are 5-1 ATS in their last six games against the Steelers.
- The Steelers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as home favorites in November.
- The total has gone over in seven of the Raiders' last eight games after an ATS win.
Pittsburgh lost to division rival Cincinnati last week but suffered an even bigger loss on the field. Star running back Le’Veon Bell was forced to leave the game with a knee injury, and has since been ruled out for the season due to a torn MCL.
One good bit of news for bettors of the Steel Curtain is the club’s ability to bounce back after a loss. Pittsburgh is 8-2 SU and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games after coming up short the previous week.
