The Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) and Las Vegas Raiders (2-3) will kick off the NFL Week 6 Sunday afternoon slate. Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on CBS. The game can be streamed on Paramount+, YouTube TV and other streaming services.
The Steelers are 3-point favorites over the Raiders (Steelers -3) after the spread opened Steelers -1 before the season. The game total is 36.5 after opening at 42. Pittsburgh is -155 to win outright on the moneyline, while Las Vegas is +130 to pull off the upset.
The Steelers lost 20-17 last week to the Cowboys. Russell Wilson returned to practice this week, although Justin Fields has played the best football of his career so far this season and will start the game. The Raiders lost 34-18 to the Broncos. Gardner Minshew was benched in the second half of that defeat, with rookie Aiden O'Connell taking over.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Las Vegas Raiders NFL Week 6 Preview
By Matt Trebby
After three straight wins straight-up and against the spread to start the season, the Steelers have lost two straight games as favorites. One thing you can rely on with Pittsburgh is the under, as it’s 4-1 to the under this season.
Russell Wilson was slated to be the Steelers’ starting quarterback entering the regular season, and he’s going to finally be active this week. It will be as Justin Fields’ backup, though.
The Raiders are 2-3 straight-up and against the spread, rotating losses and wins this season. That trend would mean they’re due this week.
Las Vegas games has gone over the total three times this season with those three games combining for 49, 58 and 52 points.
By Billy Ward
After their 3-0 start, Pittsburgh has fallen back to earth in recent weeks. They’re now 3-2, following consecutive close losses to the Colts and Cowboys.
Their Week 6 opponent, the Raiders, are no Colts or Cowboys. Las Vegas is one of the more dysfunctional franchises right now, with their top offensive player sitting out with a “hamstring injury” as he awaits a trade, and Aidan O’Connell taking over at quarterback.
It’s not much better on the defensive end for the Raiders. They allowed the Panthers and Broncos to put up season highs in points against them, and they rank 29th in overall DVOA on defense. While this game is in Las Vegas, I don’t think that matters much. The Steelers are a solid enough team to beat up on the league’s lesser outfits, which certainly includes the Raiders.
This line has slid towards the Steelers all week, but try to grab it while it’s still at the key number of 3, even if that means paying a bit more juice.
Pick: Steelers -3
