Volpe’s NFL Showdown Plays – 9/24/23: Steelers at Raiders
? Sunday Night Showdown – 9/24/23 ?
Steelers @ Raiders | 8:20 PM EST
Raiders -3 | Over/Under 43.5
This will be a close game tonight, but I am leaning towards the Raiders in their home opener. The Raiders’ offensive line has played well and has allowed the fewest pressures through two games. In addition to that, the Steelers don’t have corners to stop Adams or Meyers.
On the other side of the ball, the Steelers are one of the worst past blocking teams through two weeks and are weak at the corner position.
