The final game of Saturday’s massive slate is a matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The cold front sweeping through the country is predicted to have an effect on this game as freezing temperatures are expected with the possibility of a negative temperatures due to the wind chill. Perfect football weather! I cashed Sunday Night Football’s SGP at +1300 odds and came up one leg short in Thursday Night Football’s SGP, so I’m back with a vengeance for this matchup.

Las Vegas Raiders first half +1.5 (-120) over Pittsburgh Steelers
The Raiders are growing a reputation that no team wants. Las Vegas starts hot, gets a sizable lead, and then blows it. They are 0-4 this season when they were leading by double-digits at halftime. They nearly did it again in Week 15 against the Patriots as their 17-3 lead disappeared shortly into the second half, but they got bailed out by one of the most ridiculous endings to a game of this century. For that reason, I'll stay far away from the Raiders in the second half and back them to cover their opening half spread. The two-headed monster of Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams has proven to be one of the best duos in the league, and both offensive threats could be in for a big night. With the freezing temperatures expected in Pittsburgh, I expect Jacobs to have a heavy workload, and Las Vegas has proven to be successful when he is heavily involved in the offense.
