The artical was saying how wind that night was around 20 miles per hour with gusts to 35 but wore down later into the night. This is looking to be be a steady 25 with gusts to 50, and a lot colder base temperature.
Really if Allen doesn't heave a few down field, this might work in the Bill's favor. They easily handled the Cowboys on day where Allen threw 15 passes. The Bill's offensive line is superior to what the Steelers have, and if Rashul Douglas is hindered by injury, the Steelers won't be able to use Pickens or Diontae to try and expose it.
Low scoring games favor the underdog to cover, but I think Buffalo wins this like 17-9 type of thing. There will have to be a few turnovers or weird special teams stuff for this game to get over.
