The Las Vegas Raiders will battle it out against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16 on the road, and here are the best bets for the Silver and Black.
Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season brings an AFC battle in Western Pennsylvania, as the Las Vegas Raiders travel east to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a must-win game for both franchises. Las Vegas goes into this game fresh off a shocking victory against the New England Patriots in Week 15, while Pittsburgh handled their business against the Carolina Panthers.
Now, with each sitting at 6-8, they will need to win out to make the playoffs, as well as get some help, and all of that starts on Saturday night.
Best Las Vegas Raiders Bets Week 16
Over at BetSided, the talented Iain MacMillan likes the Raiders to cover the 2.5 points this Saturday night inside Acrisure Stadium. MacMillan feels Las Vegas can exploit the Steelers’ defense with their wide assortment of weapons, but this all falls on the shoulder of Derek Carr.
Throughout his nine years as the starting quarterback for Las Vegas, Carr has struggled in cold weather, and Saturday night is going to be a cold one in Pittsburgh. The real feel is going to feel like -9 degrees, and with wind gusts up to nearly 30 mph, it will be some of the worst elements Carr has played in during his NFL tenure.
While it will be cold, I like MacMillan’s pick here, as I believe the Silver and Black are going to win this game outright. Also, when looking at some other bets you may want to throw down, Josh Jacobs as an anytime touchdown scorer is at +125, and with the weather expected to be so cold Saturday night, you know Las Vegas is going to pound the rock with their Pro Bowl running back.
Raiders at Steelers Prediction and Odds for 2022 Week 16 NFL Football
The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 16, and here is the early odds and prediction for the matchup.
On a sadder note, this game was supposed to be a celebration for Franco Harris, who was going to have his No. 32 jersey retired by the team, but he sadly passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday night. 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the “Immaculate Reception” Game, and all of us at JBB want to send our prayers and condolences to the family.
