  • Opening moneyline: Steelers -110/Raiders -110
  • Opening total: Over/Under 44 points scored
  • Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: This line jumped the fence at TwinSpires Sportsbook, opening at Steelers -1 and now sitting at Raiders -2.5. Las Vegas is netting 57% of early bets/74% of early cash.

"Sharp action on Las Vegas +1 and -1," Lucas said.

The total fell from 44 to 43, with 61% of bets on the Over/55% of cash on the Under.

Pittsburgh (1-1 SU and ATS) is coming off a 26-22 win as a 2.5-point home pup vs. Cleveland.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Las Vegas got a nice division road win against Denver in Week 1. But there was no carryover effect to Buffalo in Week 2. The Raiders (1-1 SU and ATS) got smacked 38-10 as a 7.5-point underdog.

Pittsburgh isn't out of Week 2 yet, hosting Cleveland in the later of two games Monday night.

"We're still sitting at Pittsburgh -1.5," Degnon said. "Ticket count is about even on the spread, and I think we'll continue to see good two-way action on this game up until kickoff Sunday night. Some nibbles on the Over also, but nothing to move us off the opener yet."

Steelers vs Raiders Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

The Steelers won Monday, no thanks to the offense, as the defense scored two TDs. The offense isn't just last in the league through two weeks — it's so far off the charts on many metrics that it's literally throwing off the scale for everyone else.

 Pittsburgh is still without Diontae Johnson and Cam Heyward for at least the next few weeks. Heyward is an especially big loss, as the run defense is significantly worse without him. Luckily, it looks like Minkah Fitzpatrick is good to go.

How many times are they gonna make Mike Tomlin a field goal underdog before they learn? Two decades later, we're still doing this. This isn't a prime Tomlin underdog spot, but you still gotta feel good about a team that will absolutely have the best unit on the field in T.J. Watt and this defense.

The Raiders are another one of those 1-1 home favorites coming off a loss that only cover 33% of the time in Week 3. They're also playing a Week 3 home opener, an odd spot where teams have covered only 36% of the time. The trends favor Pittsburgh, and you're getting the key number and Tomlin as a dog. Fire away.

Pick: Steelers +2.5 (-105)
