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
