Bills Lose A Tough One To Houston
Buffalo’s most recent game was a 23-19 loss to the Houston Texans on November 20, a Thursday night matchup where Josh Allen was sacked eight times and threw two interceptions. James Cook provided the biggest spark with 116 rushing yards and a 45-yard touchdown run, but the Bills’ offense stalled in the second half, managing only a late field goal. Despite flashes of explosiveness, Buffalo couldn’t overcome Houston’s relentless defensive pressure and dropped to 7-4 on the season.
The Bills’ offense has been one of the league’s most productive, ranking 4th in total yards (381.8 per game) and 5th in scoring at 28.3 points per contest. Allen has thrown for 2,709 yards with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions, while Cook has been a force on the ground with 1,084 rushing yards and eight scores, ranking second in the NFL in rushing. Khalil Shakir has emerged as a reliable target with 564 receiving yards, and Dalton Kincaid has been a steady red-zone option when healthy. The one concern remains turnovers, as Buffalo has committed 15 giveaways, ranking 23rd in ball security.

Defensively, Buffalo has been excellent against the pass, ranking 1st in the NFL at just 168.2 passing yards allowed per game. However, their run defense has been a glaring weakness, giving up 148.9 rushing yards per contest (30th). Joey Bosa has chipped in four sacks, while Cole Bishop leads the team with 61 tackles. The Bills have forced only seven takeaways, ranking 19th, which has limited their ability to flip momentum. Against Pittsburgh, the challenge will be containing Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren while keeping Allen upright against T.J. Watt’s pass rush.
Steelers Come Up Short Against The Bears
Pittsburgh’s last game was a 31-28 loss to the Chicago Bears on November 23, a tight contest where Mason Rudolph threw for 171 yards and a touchdown. Jaylen Warren added a short rushing score, and Pat Freiermuth caught a three-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to pull the Steelers within three. Despite a strong 17-play drive in the final minutes, Pittsburgh’s comeback fell short when Jaquan Brisker tipped Rudolph’s fourth-down pass to seal the Bears’ win.
The Steelers’ offense has been inconsistent, ranking 27th in total yards (292.2 per game) but surprisingly 10th in scoring at 24.9 points per contest. Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 1,969 yards with 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions, while Warren has rushed for 604 yards and three scores. DK Metcalf has been the top receiving threat with 573 yards and five touchdowns, though injuries have limited his availability. Pittsburgh has committed 12 turnovers, ranking middle of the pack, but their ability to finish drives has kept them competitive despite modest yardage totals.
Defensively, Pittsburgh has struggled, ranking 28th in total yards allowed (364.5 per game) and dead last against the pass at 258.7 yards per contest. The run defense has been stronger, sitting 14th at 105.7 yards allowed, but the secondary has been a liability all season. T.J. Watt continues to anchor the unit with seven sacks, while linebacker Paayton Wilson leads the team with 89 tackles. The Steelers have forced nine takeaways, ranking 15th, but their inability to consistently pressure quarterbacks has hurt them. Against Buffalo, they’ll need Watt and the front seven to disrupt Allen early and often to avoid being picked apart through the air.
Buffalo Bills vs Pittsburgh Steelers Pick
Bills vs Steelers Spread Pick
- Buffalo -3 (5 Units)
Buffalo -3 feels like the right side because the Bills have the kind of offensive balance and defensive edge that travels well. Josh Allen has guided an attack averaging 381.8 yards per game (4th in the league) and 28.3 points per contest (5th), with James Cook powering the ground game at 147.2 rushing yards per game (2nd). That balance makes them difficult to defend, especially against a Pittsburgh defense that ranks 28th in total yards allowed (364.5) and dead last against the pass at 258.7 yards per game. With Allen’s ability to extend plays and exploit mismatches downfield, Buffalo should be able to move the ball consistently and put pressure on the Steelers to keep pace.
On the other side, Pittsburgh has been scrappy, averaging 24.9 points per game (10th) despite ranking just 27th in total offense (292.2 yards). But their reliance on short fields and opportunistic scoring doesn’t match up well against Buffalo’s defense, which leads the league in pass defense at 168.2 yards allowed per game. The Steelers’ offensive line will also have its hands full with Buffalo’s front, which has been disruptive all season. With the Bills’ ability to control tempo on both sides of the ball and limit explosive plays, laying the field goal feels justified in a matchup where Buffalo’s strengths directly target Pittsburgh’s weaknesses.
Bills vs Steelers Over/Under Pick
- Under 45.5 (4 Units)
The Under 45 looks like a strong angle because Buffalo’s defense has been elite against the pass, holding opponents to just 168.2 yards per game (best in the NFL), while Pittsburgh’s offense ranks only 27th in total yards (292.2) despite scoring 24.9 points per game. On the flip side, the Bills’ offense is explosive at times, but they’ve been turnover-prone with 15 giveaways, which often stalls drives. Pittsburgh’s defense has struggled overall, especially against the pass, yet they’ve been respectable against the run and tend to tighten in the red zone. With Buffalo’s ability to control tempo and the Steelers’ offense unlikely to consistently break through, this AFC showdown sets up as a grind that stays below the number.
