NFL predictions: Scores and picks for Week 6 between the Buccaneers and Steelers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off their first victory of the 2026 season following an impressive 24-16 road win over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. Now, Tampa Bay returns home looking to build some momentum when it hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6.

The Buccaneers enter Sunday’s matchup at 1-4 after snapping their four-game losing streak to open the season. Rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels helped lead Tampa Bay to its first win with Baker Mayfield sidelined, but the team continues to deal with injuries to several key players heading into this weekend’s contest.

Pittsburgh, meanwhile, is coming off a 34-22 victory over the Indianapolis Colts and will look to keep things rolling against a Tampa Bay team hoping to turn its season around.

This week, three of the four Bucs Nation staff members are picking Tampa Bay to come away with its second consecutive victory.

Here are this week’s staff predictions:

Mike Kiwak (4-1): Bucs 17, Steelers 14

Gil Arcia (3-2): Bucs 20, Steelers 16

Evan Wanish (3-2): Steelers 23, Bucs 16

Will Walsh (2-3): Bucs 19, Steelers 17
