Bills allow 146 yards per game on the ground.Broderick Jones was put on IR, and while he's not a good LT, that's still not good news facing Rousseau and Bosa. I'm expecting to see Rodgers picking himself off the ground a lot in this one. I think the Bills run D steps up a little in this one, it looked a bit improved with Shaq Thompson back last week, I could see some big runs, but I don't see the ground game having sustained success like some other Bills opponents have had. If the Steelers win, this needs to be a big game for DK Metcalf. The Bills can be had outside.
Bills are down both starting OTs, which is bad news facing TJ Watt, and its not like the starting interior was in great shape agaisnt Cam Heyward, and Dalton Kincaid feels unlikely to be back this week, and Brandin Cooks is suddenly both on the team, and possibly going to be the #3 WR instantly, with Samuel on IR, Moore cut, and Coleman presumably still in the doghouse. Despite ALL that, I still like the Bills offense in this game. I think James Cook can run on this defense, both sustained runs and big chunks, and I think Josh Allen will still make plays, both air and ground.

I'm not saying the Bills will shut down the run, but I think that Bills run D number is a little inflated by giving up 170+ yard games to Derrick Henry, Bijan Robinson, and De'Von Achane. I think elite RBs tear up Buffalo, the Steelers aren't that.Bills allow 146 yards per game on the ground.Broderick Jones was put on IR, and while he's not a good LT, that's still not good news facing Rousseau and Bosa.

Steelers allow 104 yards per game on the ground.
Only part of this take I disagree with. Rodgers is gimpy and I think they hand it off early and often to both Gainwell and Warren with some success.
So what you are really saying is I should start Woody Marks over Jaylen Warren?

Sean Tucker also had a huge game, but that was really just 3 plays, 2 of which were Tristan Wirfs opening holes you could drive a van through without touching anyone. Steelers OL isn't that good.
Conversely, I think the Steelers run D is worse than that number indicates. The only RB on Cook's level they faced was Jonathan Taylor, and I don't see Josh Allen having a "bad" Daniel Jones game. They gave up 100+ yard games to Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker, Kimani Vidal, and Chase Brown twice.
I'd honestly call that a toss up. I'd probably still lean Warren, but its like 51-49.So what you are really saying is I should start Woody Marks over Jaylen Warren?

Bet he throws for 75 yards and 5 tds. I've never seen a qb check out of more runs at goal line.Beat up QB.
Porous Bills run defense.
A recipe for Warren and Gainwell to eat.
So I’ll guess Rodgers throws 5 TDs.
