Rare NFL Big Chalk Lean (Erik Scheponik)
I don’t lay big numbers in this league all that much, but my power rankings show we are ok here, and the Black and Gold desperately need a win. They have played only 1 game this season against a less than .500 team, while the Raiders have lost by 27, 22, and 10 to the .500> teams on their schedule this season. In fact Steelers laid 3 at Atlanta last week, so this appears just a tad short at 9. Line value and need with a classy team is on our side, and despite their brutal schedule, the Steelers are still outyarding teams by 36 ypg. They’ve played a very tough slate of opposing D’s and are still averaging 5.8yds per offensive play! Andrew Walter and the Raiders swiss cheese O-line will be lucky to finish the game against Pittsburgh’s swarming front 7, and although Oakland’s D has been impressive at times, looks like their O will leave them too much work in this one. Pittsburgh by 16
Wow, that’s why that big chalk lean, was a “RARE” big chalk lean. Hard to dominate a game any more than that!
