The final week of the NFL Preseason will begin with an AFC showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills.

Steelers vs. Bills Key Player to Watch

T.J. Parker, EDGE - Buffalo Bills

Bills fans are hoping that their top draft pick, T.J. Parker, will make an impact on their defense this season. He hasn't been particularly impressive so far in the preseason, racking up just two combined tackles. Let's see if the second-round pick out of Clemson can end the preseason on a high note in this game.

Steelers vs. Bills Prediction and Best Bet

Mike McCarthy's preseason record as a head coach in his career has been a touch below .500, while Joe Brady has come out firing in his first two exhibition games as a head coach, blowing out both the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers.

The Steelers' offensive backups struggled in a big way in Week 2, and even if Aaron Rodgers plays some snaps, I don't have much faith in Will Howard or Drew Allar producing at a high level to keep pace with the Bills.

I've seen enough through the first two weeks of the preseason to feel confident laying the three points with the Bills in their final game before the regular season begins.
