Bengals vs. Steelers Odds
Game Preview
The Bengals are again losing the pace, and with back-to-back losses at home, their situation is now much more complicated than it was a few weeks ago. First, they lost to the Jets, 39-38, and then to the Bears, 47-42.
With Flacco at the QB position, Cinci flourished offensively, and as you could see, this team records 30+ points scored easily. Though their defense is, let’s say, catastrophic, and one of the worst in the last decade. The Bengals allow 33.3 points per game.
The Steelers were humbled in LA, where the Chargers defeated them last week, 25-10. It was a Sunday Night Football game, and Aaron Rodgers’ crew failed to show up.
Pittsburgh has two big problems. They average 85.7 rushing yards per game, the third-worst in the NFL, while on the other hand, they allow 269.4 passing yards, the most in the NFL. And that’s why they lose matches this easily.
Bengals vs. Steelers Head to Head
This is a ferocious AFC North rivalry. The Pittsburgh Steelers have 71 wins, and the Bengals have 41. The two met less than a month ago, with the Bengals beating the Steelers on Thursday Night Football, 33-31. Joe Flacco led the way for the Bengals.
Bengals vs. Steelers Predictions
The luck for the Steelers here is that the Bengals have a horrendous defense. And the game takes place in Pittsburgh. So, they should win this one and cover the spread. It’s a do-or-die situation for both units, and the Steelers have several advantages when considering the big picture.
