Looks like this game will open with the Raiders as a 3pt home favorite. Typically means this is a pick'em game. I'm wondering how this game got scheduled for the Sunday Night game of the week. I think it will be fun, but I have an interest.

Anyway, I think this will be a low scoring, ugly, mistakes filled defensive battle as 2 struggling offenses bang their heads against the brick wall. Any other takes on this one? Any breakout predictions?

It's GameDay! Let's GO!!

Davonte Adams steals Wallace and Peterson souls on national TV? Sounds fun!

If anybody does it will have to be Adams, right?

The weakest link for the Raiders offense is the right side of the OL. The side where TJ likes to rush from. Not saying, just saying.

Yeah. They might find a way to stop Adams and have Meyers go off for 150 yards and two TDs. It would be on brand.

Of course, there’s always a chance Watt and Highsmith get to Jimmy G and he crumbles early.

It's more Jacobs that concerns me than the Raiders passing game. Chubb broke some big runs last week and Josh Jacobs is capable of the same. I also heard/read Adams and Meyers are not for sure playing tonight.

Jacob’s has been struggling big time…what a better way to get back on track?!? Face the Steelers out west!

I have no predictions or expectations for this game. I will say what I always say for this game...... I pray for no injuries and a good, hard fought game. I love playing the Steelers. I condsider them our greatest rival, even if no one else does. Good luck tonight.... but not too good...lol.

I still remember when we were HATED rivals.

The school I went to from '79-'81 was pretty evenly divided between Steelers and Cowboys fans. There were a few others but only a few. There was 1 Raiders fan and he carried a Raiders book bag. When the Steelers beat the Rams for the SB right after having beaten the Cowboys the Steelers fans were kings. Then the Raiders beat the Eagles and that 1 guy got to be king all by himself. :whoo:

He reminded me of that guy from Schoolhouse Rock, "Hooray! I'm for the other team!" LOL!

I was the lone Raiders fan all through high school. We won the 76/77 Superbowl and I remember wearing my #12 jersey (Snake) to school the following Monday. Good times...lol.

I was 5th, 6th, & 7th grade at that school. I went to 6 different schools in 3 different states. Always the new guy. Always found my Steelers buddies first.
