matchup preview


Raider injuries:

MJD 1 week
T. Brown IR season


Pittsburgh Injuries:

M. Pouncey (C) IR (33 weeks broken femur)
E Fuller (RE) 1 week
S Smith (LG) 1 week
T. Romo (QB) 2 weeks
A. Ogletree (DT) 2 weeks


Oakland has a big advantage with regards to injuries as DJ Hayden and Terik Lattimore come off the ijured list. The Steeler injury to Romo leaves (71ovr) Landry Jones as starting QB. RB Shane Vereen looks to hall the load of work for the Steelers and WR Antonio Brown is always a deep threat. Lawrence Timmons and Brandon Flowers anchor a stout D for the Steel curtain.

The Raiders have the statistical advantage on D and the home field. Let's hope that is enough.
