A little something (SNF)

This week's Sunday Night NFL game looks like a good one. the 1-0 Oakland Raiders pay a visit to the 0-1 Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are favored by four points with a total of 40. These AFC rivals have not played since December 2000 when Oakland came here and lost 21-20 as a three-point favorite. The game stayed under the total of 42. Oakland opened last week at home versus Seattle, winning 31-17 as a seven-point choice in the debut of head coach Bill Callahan. The Raiders went 10-6 a year ago. They were 7-7-2 ATS and outscored their opponents 382-304. They were 5-3 on the road and 4-2-2 ATS, scoring 153 points and allowing 120. Pittsburgh opened its season with a Monday Night visit to New England in a rematch of last year's AFC title game. They lost 30-14 and now have a short week to prepare then and might suffer a letdown too coming off that big revenge match. The Steelers were 13-3 a year ago and 11-4-1 ATS. They outscored their opponents 352-212 overall and 194-78 here at home where they were 7-1 (6-2 ATS). Their lone home loss came to Baltimore by a slim 13-10 margin.
