Snow and wind could be factors in the Wild Card playoff matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills on Sunday. But those factors could also open up some opportunities to think outside the box and put together a successful Steelers vs Bills Same Game Parlay. Here, we attempt to do just that in our NFL betting picks for this weekend’s Wild Card playoff action..
Steelers vs Bills Same Game Parlay
- Bills -9
- Under 34
- James Cook anytime TD scorer
- +850 ($10 to win $85)
The first leg of our Steelers vs Bills Same Game Parlay is for the Bills to cover the spread as nine-point favorites in this game. While we anticipate a low-scoring matchup here, the Bills should do most of the scoring. Buffalo’s defense has held four of their last five opponents to 21 or fewer points and that streak should continue in a game where weather will impact both sides.
Next, we will take the under, which features a low total of 34 points. Both teams in this game went under the total in 11 of their 17 regular season games. We should see them combine to go under this total as well, as it is unclear as to whether Mason Rudolph and the Steelers offense will do much of any scoring against both the Bills defense and the inclement weather set to hit Orchard Park, NY.
Finally, we will close out this SGP with an anytime touchdown scorer, backing Buffalo running back James Cook to find the end zone. Cook has just six total touchdowns this season for the Bills. But Buffalo will be compelled to lean more heavily on their running game than usual in this contest thanks to the weather forecast. That will open the door for Buffalo’s featured back to cross the goal line to help us hit our SGP.
