We’re still a few weeks and preseason games away, but the Buffalo Bills currently have the edge on the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021’s opening day in Las Vegas.
According to tipico, the Bills are 6.5-point favorites presently.
All-time, Pittsburgh has the series edge on Buffalo, 16-11. However, the Bills have started to even things out in recent years against the team that is logistically the closest NFL club to Orchard Park.
The Bills have topped the Steelers in back-to-back games the last two seasons. Both wins were on primetime as well.
In 2020’s meeting, the Steelers got out to a 7-0 lead before the Bills won 26-15 which included a 14-point third quarter. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen had 266 total yards in the game with two touchdown passes.
The Bills defense also held Pittsburgh on third down, as the Steelers were 1-for-10 in that category.
That loss that the Bills handed the Steelers was the second of the Steelers’ season. Pittsburgh started 2020 with an 11-0 record before running into a late-season spiral which also included a first-round exit in the playoffs.
In 2021, the Steelers will travel to Buffalo for the contest.
