Bills vs Steelers Predictions
Score Pick: Steelers 23, Bills 20
The last time the Bills and Steelers faced off, the Bills came away with a crushing 38-3 win and covered the NFL spread easily. Even in the preseason, Pittsburgh is a notoriously difficult place for road teams to play.
The Steelers were 4-4 at home last season, but thanks to their underdog status most weeks, Pittsburgh had a +17.58% ROI and made bettors 1.65 units in those eight weeks.
I like this play because the Steelers are tough to beat in the preseason. With a 16-4 record over the last six years, Pittsburgh has one of the best preseason winning percentages in the NFL. Additionally, at 10-5 since 2007, the Steelers dominate Week 2 matchups.
Bills vs Steelers Best Bets & Props
Steelers (+105)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 unit
My NFL best bet of the day is for Mike Tomlin to continue his habit of playing hard in the preseason and lead the Steelers to an upset win. Tomlin has a career preseason record of 38-24.
The Steelers have been nearly unbeatable over the last six seasons in the preseason, with an overall record of 16-4.
Coaching has much to do with preseason wins and losses, and Tomlin’s Steelers will prove that point this weekend, making the moneyline a safe plus-play.
Steelers +1.5 (-115)

Considering I’m betting on the Steelers to win outright as underdogs on the NFL odds board, betting on their spread line is also a winning wager. The only difference is that we’re getting less-profitable odds on the spread.
The Steelers are expected to give their starters at least a few drives to operate, and the Bill probably won’t. This means that we will have NFL talent going up against guys who will be on the practice squad or outright cut within the next three weeks.
If that happens, the Steelers should take a sizable lead before the second–stringers come in.
Over 42 (-110)

It’s still preseason, and we don’t have much to go off of, but we do know that both the Bills and Steelers’ games from Week 1 of the preseason went over their projected totals.
The Bills and Colts combined for 42 points, while the Steelers and Bucs were good for 44.
Regarding their 2022 results, their Over/Under record was 4-1 in the Bills’ final five games. Meanwhile, the Steelers had a 0.80 return on investment (ROI) in their previous five home games.
