Steelers vs. Bills head-to-head

The Steelers and Bills have battled 29 times, which include 3 postseason games, with Pittsburgh ahead 17-12.

However, there have been just 4 games since the 2016 season, and the Bills have won 3 of those. Since 2000, the Steelers are 7-3 against Buffalo.

These two teams played in the 2022 season with eerily similar rosters in which the Bills throttled the Steelers 38-3. They are again heavy favorites, and with how the Bills are playing, the spread is rightfully justified.
