The Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to shrug off their Week 13 loss to the Washington Football Team, as they take on the Buffalo Bills in what should be yet another stellar primetime matchup between two of the best teams in the AFC. At 9-3, the Bills have a shot to jump up to the second seed in their conference if they win out and see the Steelers stumble down the stretch. Meanwhile, with an 11-1 record, the Steelers can still earn a bye in the playoffs if they win out and if the Kansas City Chiefs trip up in one of their last few games of the season.

Steelers vs. Bills Point Spread

Bills: -2

I’ve been down on the Steelers for a few weeks and actually nailed last week’s pick, going with the Washington Football Team +7 on the road. Turns out the Steelers might have been overlooking Washington a bit, as Pittsburgh meandered to a 23-17 loss, its first defeat of the season. As for the Bills, Josh Allen keeps putting up numbers and leading Buffalo to victories. Obviously at 9-3 the Bills haven’t suffered through a lot of adversity, with two of their losses coming in consecutive weeks to the Titans and Chiefs. No shame in losing to those teams, while their last defeat came on that last-second miracle by Kyler Murray and Deandre Hopkins in Arizona last month.

Before I get to my pick, let’s take a look at each team’s record against the spread this season.

Steelers ATS Record in 2020

• 8-4 overall ATS
• 6-2 ATS in conference games
• 4-1 ATS as away team
• 2-0 ATS as away team underdog

Bills ATS Record in 2020

• 7-5 overall ATS
• 3-5 ATS in conference games
• 4-2 ATS as home team
• 3-1 ATS as home favorite

The Steelers are 11-1 and are underdogs? Mike Tomlin is 17-5 ATS when his team is the road underdog against opponents with a winning record during his career. One of the best coaches in the NFL to play the underdog card and rile up his team. Oh and James Conner is returning from the COVID-19 reserve list. He should give the Steelers running game a boost and open up the passing game for Ben Roethlisberger.

Pick: Steelers +2

Steelers vs. Bills Point Total

Over/Under: 48.5

The Steelers have the #1 scoring defense in the NFL, allowing an average of 17.6 points per game. The Bills are right about in the middle of the league, giving up 25 points per game. The over has only hit in 4 of Pittsburgh’s 12 games, while the over is 8-3-1 in Buffalo games this year.

Tough one here and my first instinct was the under, but I think the Steelers offense will get back on track Sunday night, leading to a nice back and forth between both teams. Plus, it’s the last game of the day, who doesn’t like rooting for the over.

Pick: OVER 48.5
