The Steelers travel to Buffalo this weekend to take on a team on the brink of elimination at 6-6. Mike Tomlin labeled them as a desperate team that should not be taken lightly. The Steelers, #9 against the run, will be face the challenge of Tyrod Taylor and LeSean "Shady" McCoy and the league's #1 rushing attack. Here is who the contributors at BTSC forecast to win this game.

Brief Analysis: |
|
Anthony Defeo |
PIT 31-14 |
Defense stands tall once more. |
|
Brett Foreman |
PIT 28-13 |
Steelers offense is too much for the Ryan brothers defense and the Steelers defense holds Shady under 100 yards. |
|
Brian Nuckols |
BUF 9-3 |
Frosty conditions lead to an anemic offensive performance on both sides. |
|
Dan |
PIT 24-14 |
The Bills are better than their record indicates, but December is not an ideal time to face a Tomlin-coached Steelers team. |
|
Eric O’Connell |
BUF 17-13 |
Possible wintery conditions may slow down the offense, which is due for one more trap game after the big win over the Giants. |

PIT 24-17 |
This will be a close one on the road and there is no doubt the snow will play a factor. Steelers must play assignment football to stop Shady McCoy.

PIT 30-26 |
Ryan Shazier’s strip fumble of Tyrod with return for TD in the 4th quarter provides the winning margin in a snow game. |
|
Flip Fisher |
PIT 24-14 |
Steelers D is performing well and that trend continues. |
|
Jeff Hartman |
PIT 24-13 |
The weather could certainly play a role in the outcome of this game, but Pittsburgh’s offense is too much for Buffalo. Although close early, the Steelers will force Buffalo to abandon the run in the second half, which is right where Pittsburgh wants them. |
|
Mike Frazer |
PIT 38-17 |
A week after setting a new career high for yards, Ladarius Green tops 100 yards again and scores two touchdowns. Le’Veon Bell gets two on the ground, and a late strike to Antonio Brown is the dagger that puts Buffalo away with a little more than five minutes left. |
|
Robert Hitchcock |
PIT 21-10 |
Wintery weather in Buffalo makes for a lower scoring game than usual for PIT, but Bell carries the team to victory--literally. |
|
Zach Parnes |
PIT 14-10 |
Smashmouth Cold football. A few missed kicks here and there… this game comes down to the wire but Shady can't do enough. |
|
Bryan Davis |
PIT 19-16 |
Stop McCoy. Stop the Bills. Lev Bell pounds and Eli Rogers catches the find winner as Steelers keep going. |
