Their starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been thrown for 95 completions for 1174 yards and with five touchdowns and five interceptions for this season.

The Raiders had an impressive game against the New York Jets in their win at the Coliseum last Sunday 34-20 and also won the week before with a commanding first half but the second half the Chargers scored on Oakland none the less the Raiders won it 37-29 and the odds makers are taking notice although the Steelers are favored for next Sunday the Raiders have made the odds much smaller.
