Week 14 Bills vs Steelers SNF PreGame Thread

[Chandler#81]

AFC Titanic Tilt! Both teams are Division leaders with 3 games remaining. Both teams are being challenged closely in their Divisions. Both teams have Super Bowl aspirations. Both teams can clinch a Playoff spot with a win and some help. Both teams Biggest game to date. A National viewing audience at an empty Bills Stadium field. The Steelers look to return to playoffs, the Bills look to continue and further their current playoff run. Ben Rothlesberger has won 2 Super Bowls. Young Josh Allen has won 3 AFCOPOW awards this season seeking his 1st trip to the Big Game. Bills are as healthy as they’ve been all year while Pittsburgh continues to see their roster shuffled by injury & illness. Throw this all out. As Keith Jackson was fond of saying, “Oh Nellie! There’s gonna be some head crackin’ goin’ on tonight!”

They have meetings for that buddy.

Still 2-point favorites, which is typically the bump for playing at home. This is a real coin flip game, not last week. Also it’s mid-dec and we’re playing meaningful football. Take a moment to enjoy that!

I'm not buying into the Eelers are more motivated this week. Here is what I subjectively evaluate.  They’re banged up on defense.  They’re also tired. I do expect their receivers to catch what is thrown at them. Bills are playing better in all aspects of the game and Bills are facing another tough team.  As Barry Switzer once said before the annual Oklahoma-Nebraska football game for supremacy of the Big 8,  “we’re going to have to out-athlete them.”  Bills win on talent and rest.

I’m not a gambler, but I though home field advantage was 3 points. Is it lower in 2020 because of no fans?

Go Bills!

The Bills could join the elite with a win against the Steelers 

 

This was going to be a big game regardless of what happened last week, but Pittsburgh dropping a stunner to Washington suddenly puts more of a focus on how it has stacked up its record and whether the Steelers can truly go toe-to-toe with the other heavy hitters in the AFC.

Based on the fivethirtyeight Elo power ratings this is the highest rated Bills team since 2004.

However that was the team that at 9-6 lost to the Steelers back-ups at the Ralph to miss the playoffs. 

I think this team is objectively better than that one.

Go Bills!!!

 

Take care of business fellas!
