RyanC883 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 this is a game I can actually see the Bills winning. Steelers run D is not great, and Big Ben's numbers away from home are more like those of an average QB. Bills win by 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 All predictions are in. Models seem to have it as a pick'em game whereas the humans favor the Steelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Logic tells me to take Steelers Better Coach and Better QB. However their trend has been AVG at best on the road since 2014 Edited December 9, 2016 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I think we stand a better chance in this game than most people are giving us. I still think we are at least as good as Miami and they beat Pittsburgh pretty good a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Pro_Bills Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 As a home underdog (Steelers -2), win or lose, this game is going to tell us a lot about this Bills team. Are they going to come out prepared and fighting or flat and unmotivated? Is Rex, the self-proclaimed defensive genius, going to finally show us a great defensive game plan against a good offense or are the Steelers going to march the ball up and down the field at will? Can Tyrod overcome accuracy and 'read' problems to the point needed to carry the offense against a defense that will likely try to take away the run and dare him to beat them through the air? It all comes down to a single elimination Thunder Dome type 2 teams enter, 1 team leaves, game on Sunday. Win and a plausible chance of making the playoffs is still alive. Lose and they're out absent some remote mathematical possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
