Steelers vs. Bills: Public Bettors Backing Underdog on Monday
Our NFL Public Betting Information page indicates that 62% of public bettors are currently backing the Steelers when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Steelers will have Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick on Monday
Steelers S Minkah Fitzpatrick was removed from the Super Wild Card Weekend injury report and will play against the Bills. Fitzpatrick was a full participant in practice throughout the week before being removed from the injury report. He hasn’t played since Week 15. The star safety only played in 10 regular season games but still managed to rack up 64 tackles and three pass breakups. Getting him back is a big win for a defense that heads into the postseason with T.J. Watt.
Bills rule out WR Davis
Bills WR Gabe Davis (knee) has been ruled out for Super Wild Card Weekend against the Steelers. Davis was always a long shot to suit up against the Steelers after sustaining a knee injury in Week 18’s win against the Dolphins. Trent Sherfield and Khalil Shakir will likely see a spike in routes and possibly targets with Davis sidelined. Buffalo’s offense becoming one of the NFL’s run heaviest units means no one outside Stefon Diggs and possibly Dalton Kincaid will see meaningful looks in a snow game against Pittsburgh.
