It’s anyone’s guess who will advance in the matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills in this NFL live stream.

If you’ve been following the NFL season this year, you know that both the Steelers and Bills faced their fair share of headwinds. At the start of the season, many believed Buffalo could be among the top teams in the AFC, thanks to Josh Allen and his powerhouse offense. But as the season wore on, things started to slip and it wasn’t immediately clear that the Bills would have what it would take to make the playoffs.

The Steelers, meanwhile, faced doubts throughout the season about their ability to make the playoffs. The team played generally well (it made the playoffs, after all), but wasn’t always looking like a top-tier contender. But if we know anything about Coach Mike Tomlin, it’s that he knows how to energize a team and help it win. And this year, like so many years prior, Tomlin has once again led his Steelers team to the playoffs.

Still, many football fans think the Bills will just be too much for the Steelers when they face off this weekend. Josh Allen is a key player in this game that will factor heavily into the Steelers’ ability to keep up. And it’ll ultimately be up to T.J. Watt and the rest of the Steelers defense to see if they can beat what is a highly favored Bills team.

But just because experts say the Bills should win, it doesn’t mean it’ll happen. And in these teams’ last five matchups, the Steelers have won three. There’s a chance the Steelers may just have the Bills number.

DraftKings has the Bills as 9.5-point home favorites, with the over/under set at 35.5 points. So don't expect a high-scoring affair in New York.
