NFL Week 14: Pittsburgh Steelers at Buffalo Bills odds, picks and predictions

Washington Football Team v Pittsburgh Steelers

This matchup had long been penciled into the calendar of Steelers, Bills, and many NFL fans. The Buffalo Bills were the best team remaining on Pittsburgh's schedule as they seemed on a collision course for an undefeated 2020 regular season. Last week, however, the Washington Football Team, stopped the Steelers and their hype train right in its tracks.

The Football Team topped Pittsburgh 23-17, dropping the losing team to 11-1. Now, this NFL Week 14 game is no longer about the Steelers' chase of perfection. Still, it's a clash between two of the AFC's best teams, so it could be a playoff preview.
