The Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills are slated to play in Week 14 in Orchard Grove, NY this Sunday. While the Steelers (7-5) have the better record than the Bills (6-6), the level of desperation in this game will be palpable.
Pittsburgh still controls their own playoff destiny, but to do so they need to continue their winning ways by turning their three-game winning streak into a four-game winning streak.
On the other hand, Buffalo needs to win, and some help from teams like the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos to potentially get into the playoffs. The Bills aren’t dead yet, but if they lose their season is all but over with three games remaining.
A lot on the line for a Week 14 1 p.m. EDT kickoff, and according to Las Vegas odds makers, this game could be close. Most books in Vegas have the Steelers as 1-point road favorites in this AFC grudge match, while some books have the Steelers as high as 2-point favorites. These lines are used to move money, but the slim number makes you think they believe it will be closer than some may believe.
Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown vs. Tyrod Taylor, LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins.
