The Bills are entering this game with a 3-1 record overall and they are playing their 2nd home game of the season here as they are 1-0 in their home games this year. Their offense is averaging 278.8 YPG and 18.5 PPG while their defense is allowing 383 YPG and 22.5 PPG against them. They won their last game on the road against the Baltimore Ravens 23-20.

The current betting odds have the Steelers listed as a 14 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Steelers won their 1st game of the season and have done nothing but lose games since then but their defense has actually played well in a lot of their games, it is just their offense that has been letting them down. The offense looked a lot better in the 2nd half under Kenny Pickett in their last game though. He did make some big mistakes with his 3 interceptions but he still threw for over 100 yards and ran in 2 TDs which is pretty good considering he didn't take any 1st team reps during the week and was thrusted in mid-game at HT. The Bills haven't looked that great either in their last 2 games after starting the season 2-0. They have come back down to Earth with a loss to the Dolphins and a slim win by 3 points against the Ravens last week. They are back at home for this game and should play better but their offense has been struggling to score points in 2 games now considering how much possession of the ball they have had, and the Steeler defense is no walkover either. The Bills will win this game but this is too many points and it is very rare that big favorites in the NFL even cover the double digit spreads they get. The best way to place a bet here is on the Steelers to cover the spread in this game.
