take the over 41.5                       this game is too close to call.  -9 is alota points.  especially with oakland on a hot streak. Pitt will win the game, it's just a matter of how much?  

Oakland ML

I lost my survivor pick last year on this matchup....

Oakland is much better than last year and the Steelers are banged up on both lines...

I would be in shock if the Raiders don't cover 9... but I'm expecting a win.... a major upset...

after seeing what the cowboys did to the Gmen this weekend, I don't think it's too far-fetched.

They have a good special teams game..... decent running game.... and Campbell isn't turning the ball over like his Washington days...

 

GL TO ALL!

    I have agreed with Break A Bookie's analysis here. Oakland is more than capable of beating any team in the league this season.

OAKLAND  +  7

Thought I had the under in the bank last year 10-6 pitt after 3 qts. Too bad 35 pts. were put up in the 4th. Kind of a Pitt homer, think I'll stay away

Oakland coming off a ByeIm; looking for an upset

yuck stay away take the over if anything

trendy pick here would be oak...but that line came down in a hurry.  NE really made pit look bad on with the passing game...but you guys think campbell will have same success.  Cant run on Pit and campbell cant pass like brady.  Lets be honest...pit had a bad game and they will respond against oak. 

After 3 consecutive wins,,,,, a week off,,,, traveling east coast to Pitt, combined with the win @ Pitt last year, Pitt coming off a home spanking, the line dropping from Raider backers,,,,, I think Pitt opens up a can of Woop ass on the Raiders,,,, my guess,,, 34-10 Pitt

Last year as I recall GRADKOWSKI pulled off the upset....cable knows what it takes to beat pittsburg ....they cover the 7 ....the raiders will pass on this team.....good luck pittsburg the raiders have not played this good in ten fucking years!

Raiders-ML (+265)... Nothing further to say here.

You said it all right there. Raiders WILL NOT be able to run on Pitt, and Campbell is definitely no Brady. Steelers don't lose 2 in a row, and when's the last time Oakland won 4 in a row? When The Snake was QB? And this game is in Pittsburgh, people. Don't drink the old Al Davis Kool-Aid, this game won't even be close.

OAK +7 (4units): the line opened at 9, but i'll take the 7. The Raiders are not the same team as last year and the Steelers are banged up (Hines Ward is day-to-day). My line has it as a near pick-em, so i'll take the points. They're 5-2 ATS the last seven, albeit not against the elite, with the exception of the Bolts who they beat SU. Their turnovers equal the steelers ytd: (13-13). Score: Raiders 18-Steelers 21

Pittsburgh - 30                             Oakland - 17

Steelers -9                             over 41.5

I remember a match-up between these two would be saved for primetime Monday Night. Pitt at home should win and cover even though the Raiders are 3-0 ats last 3 vs the Black & Gold.

Steelers - over         

raiders + 7.5

Good call col. I will be at the game tomorrow, so I must have something on the game. I feel after the loss to NE we are ready to play. Tomlin made our boys do full pads at practice this week, and not to mention we canned the towel dispenser destroyer Reed. The message is out in Pitt win or you will be next on chopping block. I know I am a homer, but this is a game I think you can all make some money on, Pitt 27-14. Good luck to all!

PS. Thanks Sharp for your insight on the college Fball this week!!!

for some inexplicable reason I really like the Raiders +7.5... That's a lot of points to lay to a hot team in the NFL.  The Over 41.5 LOOKS good as well.  BOL gents.

Jumped in on this one early and took the 9 had to play the number but I'm expecting a tough game with oakland sneaking in a back door cover I also think this game might go under as everyone and his mother is on the over

In the burgh here. Taking Oakland. Yes Pittsburgh will be motivated, but I think they only pull this game out.

Ward still going to play so they say. That certainly helps Steelers. Rest of the team pretty hurt. Oak off a bye.

Pittsburgh 24 - Oakland 20

 

over..............

Teasing Oak and Patriots

Pitt. is much more established. not quite buying oakland yet. losses to sf and az on the road. have only beat teams in their div.( the teams they're obviously the most familiar with) and NFC west teams (worst div. in league). pitts only loses to top 5 teams (NO,NE,Bal.) and coming off that embarassing home loss.   PITT -7

Just wish I had gotten in on this baby when it was 9 and only thing worrying is that home loss as in looking for someone to take it out on, however this is the same Oakland team that went in there and won SU last year as a 14.5 pt dog and slightly improved even -- RAIDERS +7 & VER 41 

hard to believe it , Raider have new Life , they dont win , but keep it within a touchdown , Raiders and the 1/2 point hook will get ya there

RAIDERS +7 1/2 (some lines are as high as 9 , take the wood !)

ACE

Is there still a trend of West Coast teams playing 1pm games in the east??   The trend was THEY GOT KILLED!   

Its freezing up here in the north.   PITT easy
