The Buffalo Bills return home to play the Pittsburgh Steelers and the last time the Bills played at Highmark Stadium they were on their way to blowing out the Tennessee Titans.

This is another game that has the potential to be a blowout as the Steelers are currently in the middle of a three-game losing streak, including a loss to the New York Jets. They will also enter this game having a rookie quarterback make his first career start.

When looking at this game, these are four bold predictions for the Buffalo Bills against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Josh Allen doesn’t lead the Buffalo Bills in rushing yards

This shouldn’t be a bold prediction but the fact remains the Bills have not been able to get much on the ground from their running backs. In three of the first four games, Josh Allen has been the team’s leading rusher but against the Pittsburgh Steelers that ends.

The Steelers’ defense has struggled a bit with defending the run and is allowing 131.5 rushing yards per game, which is the ninth most in the league.

If this game becomes a blowout, the Buffalo Bills are going to try and chew the clock and run the ball. This is a game where Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, and James Cook should get plenty of work on the ground and one of these three will be the leading rusher this week.
