We're about to find out if the Raiders are the real deal.
Their remaining schedule definitely will lift eyebrows if they can pull out 3 or 4 wins. I can see them go 2-5 in the next seven games. Sorry Raider fans, you had a great run.

@Steelers (They did it last year)
Dolphins (The Raiders are better than the Dolphins)
@Chargers (They beat them once this year already, this will be the real test)
@Jags (Jags seem decent, but I like the Raiders more)
Broncos (Raiders win)
Colts (Colts always fade in December, we'll see what the standings and their injury report looks like when this game rolls around.)
@Chiefs (Chiefs are already falling apart, Raiders might be playing for a playoff spot with KC already heading into the offseason.)
You say 2-5, I say 5-2. Broncos @ Dolphins will be fairly easy wins. Colts, @Jags, @Chiefs are doable. @Steelers & @Bolts will tell.

Seymour has the D-Line playing at an elite level, Pittsburgh's OLine will not be able to contain it. Nnamdi, Zach Miller, John Henderson and Louis Murphy all returning from injury. Mainstream thinking is that since Pitt got destroyed by the Pats, they are going to take it out on the Raiders... this could not be any more false and misleading. Maybe Pittsburgh isn't all that we think they are cracked up to be; and the Raiders are who nobody thought they'd be (an above .500 team at this point in the season).
The Raiders not only make enough plays to cover tomorrow, they are going to win outright. Pound it

i hear ya. what you are saying is true, the raiders have been a good team lately....but this is the time of year good teams are separated from the great teams....
oakland in my honest opinion is 2 years from being a legit playoff contender- but they have surpassed my expectations thus far. Ill continue to monitor from a distance.
good luck though.

Steelers #1 vs the Run, Raiders are #2 rushing offense... something has to give.
If the Steelers can consistently force the Raiders into 3rd and long, that will be huge for them. But if anybody knows how to attack Steelers' D, it's gotta be Hue Jackson (new Raider O. Coord, former Baltimore Raven QB Coach). He has a lot of experience in the AFC North.
The teams that have beaten Pittsburgh have done it through the air. Speed kills and Oakland has a ton of it. They'll need big plays from Jacoby Ford, Heyward-Bey and Louis Murphy.

this has potential to be an awesome game. i hate on jason cambell even more than the next guy but hes been on fire lately and he owes that to mcfadden running wild into the secondary on a regular basis. this team is playing with a lot of heart and a little defense and who knows what they can do....they're coming up with a lot of turnovers. definitely wouldnt take the steelers today.

Im a diehard steelers fan so i wont be betting on this game. One thing is for sure, the raiders will not be able to run the ball against the steelers. Nobody has. If the raiders are going to win, its gonna be throught the air like last year. Jason Campbell doesnt bother me but gradkowski does. Like i said, i wont be betting this game but I see it
Steelers 24
Raiders 13

I can get better odds at SBR book. Why don't you just place your bet there?
