Matchup: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Buffalo Bills
NFL Wild Card Sunday kickoff with an AFC matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills. The Bills finished their season with 5-straight wins, securing the AFC East title for the 4th consecutive season along the way. The Steelers snuck into the playoffs after winning 3-straight, and relying on several other teams to lose, becoming one of three teams from the AFC North to reach the postseason. However, Pittsburgh is not expected to get past the Wild Card round. Buffalo is heavily favored to win, as the Bills will enter Sunday’s contest as 10-point favorites, the largest spread of any Wild Card matchup.

Steelers vs. Bills: Best Player Prop
Josh Allen, Buffalo QB; Prop Bet: O/U 1.5 passing touchdowns
Prediction: OVER (+130)
Josh Allen is without a doubt a top-3 quarterback in the NFL. It wasn’t always pretty, but the Bills 6th-year QB got his team into the postseason. Allen recorded 4,306 passing yards, 524 rushing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, and 15 rushing touchdowns. He averages 1.7 passing touchdowns per game, but against Pittsburgh’s generous secondary, Josh Allen will prove his elite status. The Steelers gave up 23 passing touchdowns and only 9 rushing touchdowns, meaning they’re much more vulnerable through the air, and Josh Allen will take full advantage of his positive matchup.
Steelers vs. Bills Game Predictions
I’m going with the Buffalo Bills to win and move on. Pittsburgh had a great year, and they should be proud just to be in the playoffs, but the Steelers success stops here. The Bills are playing excellent football and have a lot of momentum. Buffalo has 5-straight wins under their belt, beating quality opponents, like the: Cowboys, Chiefs, & Dolphins, to get where they are now. Josh Allen is a special talent, and the Bills defense is a top-tier unit, allowing just 18.3 points per game during the regular season. Buffalo is a well-rounded team, and they’re poised to make a deep run this postseason, which will start with a win over the Steelers.
Moneyline Pick: Buffalo Bills (-480)
ATS Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers (+10.0)
O/U Pick: Over (35.5)
Score: Steelers 23; Bills 30
