The following Steelers vs Bills NFL betting preview will give you the current odds, betting trends and picks for the Week 1 matchup.
NFL Regular Season — Week 1 Game
Pittsburgh Steelers (0-0, 0-0 Away) vs. Buffalo Bills (0-0, 0-0 Home)
Date: Sunday, September 12, 2021
Time: 1:00 p.m. EST
Venue: Highmark Stadium — Orchard Park, NY
Coverage: CBS
After mulling retirement, Ben Roethlisberger is back to lead this Steelers offense. Many forget that this is a Pittsburgh team that started last season 11-0, so it’d be foolish to count them out of any game. Still, the biggest question mark is their offensive line, and they must prove to everyone, including themselves, that they can be trusted. Defensively, this will again be one of the best units in the league, and T.J. Watt is a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate.
Josh Allen has taken notable steps forward every season, as has the rest of the Bills. The next goals on that last should be an NFL MVP and a Super Bowl birth, which are both very possible for this team. The offense will be one of the most explosive in the entire league, and the defense added more talent this offseason. The Bills must be able to stop the run and find a way to generate pressure this season, if they want to take those steps forward as a team.
