Why Bet on Pittsburgh versus Buffalo

The Steelers didn’t luck into their playoffs spot. After studying Pittsburgh’s final three games, the ones where Mason Rudolph started at quarterback, it’s apparent that this Steelers’ team isn’t the same as the one earlier in the season.

Pittsburgh dusted the Bengals 34-11, dominated the Seahawks 30-23, and beat the Baltimore Ravens 17-13. The win over the Ravens came with Lamar Jackson on the bench. But Pittsburgh still managed to score 17 points against one of the league’s top defenses. The Steelers’ offense is good enough to put points on the board versus Buffalo’s D.

Why Bet on Buffalo Bills versus Pittsburgh Steelers

The Buffalo Bills were the hottest team in the NFL down the regular season stretch. The Bills won 6-of-7 and 5 straight. Buffalo would have made it 7 straight if not for an overtime loss versus the Eagles in Philly.

The Bills beat the Cowboys, the Dolphins, and the Chiefs during the stretch. So the wins were more than legit.

Buffalo Bills vs Pittsburgh Steelers Final Betting Prediction

It’s tempting to take the 10 points because the Steelers offense has improved so much from where it was just over a month ago. But the problem Pittsburgh is going to have in this game won’t be on the offensive side.

The Steelers’ defense is in for a world of hurt. T.J. Watt won’t play, which means Pittsburgh is going to have to get creative to keep Josh Allen from taking over the game. It’s doubtful the Pittsburgh coaching staff is creative enough.

Allen put the Bills on his back in the second half of the season. His performance versus the Miami Dolphins was almost legendary. The Bills signal-caller won’t allow his team to fail on Sunday. Although it’s a lot of points, and Pittsburgh does have the brilliant Mike Tomlin calling the shots, the Bills get the win and cover.
