To celebrate the 3 games happening on Sunday, I havve put together my favorite pick from each game to create a parlay that pays out at over 6/1 odds at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Let’s get into my Sunday parlay from Wild Card Weekend, and be sure to also check out all of our NFL playoffs predictions.
Buffalo Bills -10 (-106) over Pittsburgh Steelers?
The Steelers limped into a Wild Card spot and were rewarded with a date with the Bills in Buffalo. In Week 18, the Steelers lost T.J. Watt to a knee injury, which will sideline him for Sunday's game. It's pretty clear how different the Pittsburgh defense is without Watt and it's coming at a bad time since playing in Buffalo is already an extreme disadvantage for visiting teams. I'm not expecting the Steelers to provide their usual amount of pressure on the quarterback which should allow Josh Allen to have more time in the pocket and go through his progressions.
If there's one thing we've learned about Allen this season, it's that he's terrible under duress. The amount of interceptions he's thrown this season is truly abysmal, but if he gets more time in the pocket, he gets the opportunity to make the right decision. Plus, Mason Rudolph has been named Pittsburgh’s starter for Sunday's game, and I have very little faith in Rudolph in this situation.
