Lorenzo Reyes: Buccaneers 28, Steelers 13
The Steelers are far too careless with the football, tied for 26th in the league in giveaways (9), with six of those coming in the last two games. Tampa’s defense is aggressive and diverse and coach Todd Bowles should have a formidable plan against a rookie passer. On the other side, without T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh’s defense just isn’t the same.
Safid Deen: Buccaneers 30, Steelers 17
Tom Brady and the Bucs offense are finding their stride and should have no problem winning big in Pittsburgh. My score doesn’t reflect it but it could be back to back blowout losses for the Steelers.
Lance Pugmire: Buccaneers 30, Steelers 13
It must be hard for Pittsburgh fans to suffer through the rebuilding that so many other franchises have endured, but the neglect of the offensive and defensive lines on draft days past has come to bite the Black and Gold Brigade.
Jarrett Bell: Buccaneers 31, Steelers 20
Nate Davis: Buccaneers 29, Steelers 17
Tyler Dragon: Buccaneers 28, Steelers 10
