Buffalo Bills bold predictions for Super Wild Card Weekend vs. Steelers
The Buffalo Bills are hoping for a great performance from their star QB Josh Allen this Sunday.
The Bills quietly had a solid year in 2024 as they captured the AFC East Division crown, beating out the Miami Dolphins.
Recently, left tackle Dion Dawkins described a gruesome finger injury that occurred vs. the Bills’ division rivals. The Bills’ Gabe Davis avoided a major injury and was diagnosed with a type of sprain.
With this weekend’s game against the Steelers looming, the Bills have found themselves on a five-game winning streak, with victories over the Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers, Patriots and Dolphins to their name.
The Steelers come in on a three game winning streak after three losses previously.

Here are four predictions for Sunday’s playoff game:
1. Josh Allen Will Not Throw an Interception
The Steelers’ secondary has had its fair share of interceptions and passes defensed on the season.
The solid play of the Steelers’ defensive backfield will cause star Bills QB Josh Allen to prepare extra hard and to be extra careful about where he throws the football on Sunday afternoon.
Expect Allen to have one of his cleanest and most efficient afternoons as the Bills’ postseason quarterback vs. Coach Mike Tomlin’s Steelers.
2. James Cook and Latavius Murray Will Each Score
Cook and Murray have taken turns in short yardage situation for the Bills this season.
While the Allen-led passing attack gets most of the pub, Cook and Murray have quietly formed a punishing one-two punch for the Steelers in the offensive backfield.
Expect both guys to keep the chains moving with meaningful runs and a touchdown each against the Steelers on Sunday.
Pittsburgh is known for its gritty play, but the Bills are one of the best home teams in the National Football League.
3. Mason Rudolph Will Have a Tough Day at the Office
The Bills’ defense will be chomping at the bit to face Rudolph, a solid and at times dangerous former backup QB who isn’t quite ready for prime time.
Rudolph beat the Seahawks’ Geno Smith and Ravens backup QB Tyler Huntley in back-to-back weeks.
Facing Allen and the Bills in Buffalo (Orchard Park, New York to be exact) is a different task altogether.
Last week, Rudolph got away with managing the game against the shorthanded, Lamar Jackson-less Ravens.
