For the Move
- Weather is predicted to be a factor with sub-zero temperatures, snow and winds over 20 mph during the game
- The Under is 4-0 in the last 4 Buffalo home games in which they are a favorite of 10 points or less
- Buffalo and Pittsburgh’s defenses are both top 10 in average points against per game at 18.3 and 19.1 respectively which totals 37.4
Against the Move
- TJ Watt is out for the Steelers which should make it easier for the Bills to run their offense
- The Steelers and Bills are averaging a combined 51 points per game in their last 5 games
Richie’s Take:
It’s hard to go against the money on this one. Looks like an old-school, low-scoring weather game with snow and wind chill temperatures below 10 degrees at kickoff. If the Steelers could only manage 17 points in the rain against a Ravens team that was sitting players, how are they going to score more than 10 in this game? By the way, isn’t Mason Rudolph from South Carolina? Don’t forget that there won’t be any automatic field goals either . . .
