4. Singletary gets 130 total yards

Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary has emerged as a highly dangerous offensive threat in this offense. Averaging 5.6 yards per carry this season, he has 642 rushing yards on the year, though he has only two scores. He’s also been a receiving threat with 26 catches for 190 yards and two more scores on the year. And even better, he’s been matchup-proof for the most part.

For as well as the Steelers defense has played, they are still lacking a bit in the middle of the field on defense. Rookie linebacker Devin Bush has been good but has had his share of lapses at times. With the way Brian Daboll has deployed Singletary, he’ll give the Steelers defense all kinds of trouble and the rookie rusher will end the day with 130 total yards and find the end zone at least once.

3. Watt gets two sacks on depleted Bills line

Though the Bills are fortunate to have Mitch Morse healthy, they are still banged-up on the offensive line. Ty Nsekhe has already been ruled out for Week 15 at one of their tackle spots while Jon Feliciano will be at less than 100 percent if he does play, carrying a questionable designation coming into this game. And against the Steelers pass rush, that doesn’t bode well for Josh Allen all game.

Yes, Allen is going to use his physicality and rushing ability to make plays and escape pressure. However, he won’t be able to do that for the entire 60 minutes. T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree are going to get after him and the former is going to continue his ascension to star level. Getting into the backfield often, he’ll bring Allen to the ground at least twice in primetime.
