The Bills should still win, but I think it's far from "no chance" territory.

Oh I am not underselling Highsmith. Golden probably, but not Highsmith. To me the loss of Watt means that Buffalo can focus on blocking Alex with help as needed. With Watt playing they would have to focus on him and allow for more one on ones for Highsmith.
I do believe that they stand more of a chance against Buffalo than people think. It seems like people want Buffalo to win so bad that they are trying to will that team into being better than they have played this year (even during this current win streak).
I think Tomlin is a much better coach than people credit him for and he continually has that team winning more games than their talent should produce. I would not be shocked at all if the game is closer than expected or if Pittsburgh wins.
