The Steelers rack up 7.8 fewer points per game (18.4) than the Raiders allow (26.2). Pittsburgh collects 299.4 yards per game, 33.8 fewer yards than the 333.2 Las Vegas allows per matchup. The Steelers have turned the ball over two more times (4 total) than the Raiders have forced a turnover (2) this season.

Both the Raiders and Steelers have their top pass rusher. That’s the good news. But both teams also are suffering from depth at the position. This week the Steelers are officially without starting linebackers Nick Herbig and Alex Highsmith, along with DE DeMarvin Leal, making them pretty thin at linebacker and edge rusher.

The Raiders are minus their best player on offense (Danvante Adams) and their best player on defense (Christian Wilkins) and looking at a new starting quarterback. There’s just too much going on here for the Steelers to lose this one. We expect Fields to have his best game of the season and the defense to rally around the new starters.
