Pittsburgh Steelers at Buffalo Bills Preview & Picks

Buffalo are backed to cover a double digit spread in the Wildcard round.

The Bills enter the postseason with momentum, while Pittsburgh are relying on a third-string QB and are set to be without defensive star TJ Watt.

  • Buffalo Bills are on a 5-game win streak
  • Pittsburgh Steelers are 0-7-0 ATS in defeats this season
  • 10 of Buffalo’s last 11 games have produced over 35.5 total points
  • The Over has cashed in 4 of Pittsburgh’s last 5 games

Head To Head

  • Pittsburgh Steelers lead the all-time series 17-12
  • Buffalo Bills won 38-3 when the two teams last met in October 2022

Pittsburgh Steelers Form

Pittsburgh wrapped up the regular season with a three-game win streak to finish 10-7 and earn a playoff place.

The Steelers went 7-4 through September to November, but a sudden collapse in form in December threatened their postseason chances.

A 24-10 defeat at home to Arizona began a three-game losing skid that saw them also fall 21-18 to New England and 30-13 at Indianapolis.

Pittsburgh turned to Mason Rudolph after the loss to the Colts, and his introduction sparked some life into the offense over the final three weeks.

The Steelers won 34-11 against Cincinnati and 30-23 at Seattle, before closing out the regular season with a 17-10 win over a Baltimore team who rested a bunch of starters.

Buffalo Bills Form

Buffalo won their final five regular season games to finish 11-6 and beat Miami to the AFC East crown.

The Bills failed to find some consistency before their late bye week, going 6-6 across their first 12 games of the season.

However, they were able to find some form after returning to action on December 10, beating a string of playoff-bound teams to continue their dominance of their division.

Buffalo sparked a five-game win streak with a 20-17 victory over Kansas City, which was followed by a 31-10 win against Dallas, a 24-22 success at the Los Angeles Chargers and a 27-21 win over New England.

That set up a winner-takes-all meeting in Miami last week, and the Bills took it by beating the Dolphins 21-14.

Verdict

Buffalo have been stacking up wins since the bye week and have knocked off a bunch of good teams.

They should be too strong for a Pittsburgh team who are a mess at QB and saw TJ Watt go down with injury a week ago.
