Steelers at Bills

Steelers might be in over their heads at Buffalo on Sunday. Buffalo sometimes profiled as the best AFC team, but probably did not play up to their potential. Steelers have some weaknesses and don't figure to be a match for the Bills.

Bills inconsistency can be seen in the chart below of Rushes + Completions, a measure of ball control. When their ball-control offense clicked, they generally won. But for some games, they performed poorly.

Rushes + Pass Comp

Buffalo Bills

2023 through Week 17


      Rushes + Completions -- Buffalo Bills

Let's compare the two teams on Yards per Pass Attempt.

On offense, Bills earn a yard more than Steelers and the teams rank 5 and 19. Killer Stat, Offense.

Bills are also stronger on defense where the teams rank 5 and 22. See both teams on the defensive side of our Killer Stat, (Yards per Pass attempt) chart. Killer Stat, Defense. With Bills top 5 on offense and defense and Steelers below average on both, this shapes up as a mismatch.

Our computer likes the Bills by 11. Sounds about right to me.
