NFL 2015 Season: Oakland Raiders vs Pittsburgh Steelers, Preview, Prediction & Predicted Lineup

Streaking squad Oakland Raiders (4-3) will travel to the Heinz Field in Pittsburgh this Sunday to clash with the returning Ben Roethlisberger and his Steelers (4-4) for a highly-anticipated Week 9 matchup in the 2015 NFL season.

The Raiders have won two straight games since their bye Week 6, with their last one a 34-20 shellacking of the New York Jets at their home field of O.co Coliseum on November 1st, via Fansided.

Sophomore signal caller Derek Carr was superb during the match, throwing 23-of-36 for 33 yards with four touchdowns and zero sacks and interceptions for a 93.6 QBR and 130.9 rating.

Meanwhile, the Steelers welcomed superstar quarterback Roethlisberger back in their lineup during the team's Week 8 loss against top team Cincinnati Bengals, 16-10, at the Heinz Field also last Sunday, as per Yahoo Sports.

Roethlisberger was a little rusty, passing 28-of-45 for 262 yards, one touchdown, three interceptions, and three sacks for a low QBR of 23.3 and overall rating of 57.8.

The two-time Super Bowl champion is set to bounce back from that poor performance against the Raiders this week as the Oakland defense will have their hands full in trying to contain Big Ben.

Prediction: Steelers win, 21-17.
