Steelers vs. Bills: Who are the experts picking in Week 1?

There were three sites chosen as professional picks for this upcoming week one matchup. Those sites include profootballnetwork.com, nflspinzone.com, and sportingnews.com.

All three are reliable sources that know football and have genuine good predictions for games.

Pro Football Network

This site has it being a close game with the Bills winning in the end, 28-23. Their reasoning is the number of question marks surrounding the Steelers at the moment, but they do recognize that the away team does have a legit chance for the upset here. It is going to be a tough game but they ended up selecting the Bills, just like most of the experts are choosing as we enter into Week 1.

NFL Spin Zone

This site also went with the Bills emerging victorious once the clock strikes zero. They expect the home squad to win by a score of 33-26. That is a fair guess as the Steelers do seem to have some obvious faults heading into this game, as the Bills are expected to have a Super Bowl chance soon. The expert believes that the black and gold will have a turnover or two in this game and that will lead to the Bills pulling away in the score column. That is a fair guess as it seems likely with a new offensive coordinator that there could be some miscues.

Sporting News

It is another predicted win for Buffalo by the score of 27-19. This prediction focused more on the Bills’ skill set and less on the Steelers in general. They expect the Bills to mostly dominate this game as they did on the scorecard last season when these two faced each other. These predictions are not favorable for Pittsburgh but stranger upsets have happened. It will be a tough battle and should be a decent game for both teams.
