Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction

We were on the Steelers last week, and they made us proud with a nice victory. I’m grabbing the free field goal with the Steelers at home. The offense looked too sharp, with Skylar Thompson throwing for three touchdowns and Mason Rudolph putting together an impressive drive. Both quarterbacks have regular season starting experience, so seeing another strong performance wouldn’t be shocking. Excuse me if I still have question marks around Kyle Trask. The Steelers can win this game outright. Give me the points.
