NFL Week 3 Pick

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Las Vegas Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders -2.5 -115 @Draftkings Sportsbook Risk 3.45 To Win 3 Units

Coming off a winner last Sunday with the Falcons cashing in on the moneyline against the Packers. Let’s try to make it two in a row as the Raiders will host there first home game on Sunday night football against the Steelers. Raiders are coming off a blowout loss to the Bills and the Steelers got a win in a hard fought game against the Browns. The Steelers rank dead last in the NFL in offensive EPA while the Raiders are ranked 13th. The Raiders have had success throwing the ball through the air but the rushing game has been poor as Josh Jacobs has only averaged 1.64 rushing yards per attempt. I’m looking for Jacobs to have a breakout game against the Steelers as they rank 20th in rush EPA defense and is the one weak spot on this good Steelers defense. The Raiders offensive line play has been solid through two games as they have allowed the least amount of pressure in the NFL at 7.4% per dropback. This matchup is strength on strength but the situational spot favors the Raiders in this game as the Steelers just played on Monday night and now have to travel to the west coast. I see the Raiders outscoring the Steelers on Sunday night football so take the -2.5 with the Raiders.
