Raiders vs. Steelers Free Pick
The Pittsburgh Steelers will look to bounce back from a dismal effort last Sunday when they host a team in the Oakland Raiders that beat them last season. Continue reading for our Week 11 free pick on this contest.
According to latest NFL Odds, oddsmakers from online sports book BroburySports.com have made the Steelers a 7.5-point favorite over the Raiders in Week 11. The over/under total for this game is currently 41 points.
The Raiders improved to 5-4 with a win over the Chiefs two weeks ago according to latest NFL trends. They’re currently 6-3 against the spread this season and while they’re just 1-3 straight up on the road, they’ve covered in three of their four games on the road.
Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers dropped to 6-3 with a loss to the Patriots last week and are just 2-2 at home this year. They’ve covered in five of their nine games, although they’re just 2-2 ATS at Heinz Field.
Our Week 11 Free Pick:
For whatever reason, the Steelers have had all kinds of trouble with the Raiders over the years. Not only did Oakland beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh last year, but they’re 4-1 against the spread in their last five overall meetings. The underdog is also 6-1 in the last seven games between these two teams and the Raiders are 5-0 ATS in their last five overall contests. This is a confident Oakland team right now and it obviously has no qualms about playing at Heinz Field. While there’s the revenge factor here for Pittsburgh, we like Jason Campbell and Oakland to cover. Our pick is the Raiders plus the points.
