AFC North play in Pittsburgh, the Steelers opened -7, now -3, due in part to some injuries for Pittsburgh. Big Ben with a partially torn pectoral, check out the injury report here. Steelers have won 11 of 12 matchups with the Bengals, and haven’t lost two weeks in a row since weeks 2-4 2018. Roethlisberger has 32 career games vs Cincinnati, averaging 244.2 YPG, with 45 TDs and 30 INT and a 87.2 passer rating, with a 24-8 record.
For Cincinnati they look to keep momentum after finally beating the Steelers last time they met, Burrow DNP in that one. Burrows first 12 starts he has 263.0 YPG, 17 TD, 8 INT with a 90.4 passer rating. The Bengals 1-15-1 on the road since 2019.
The Steelers have beat up on the Bengals so much its hard to imagine that -3 oddsmakers have them only favored by homefield. The total took a huge drop as well moving almost 4 points down to 43.5. The problem with the huge line moves sometimes is that the oddsmakers when they set their lines are usually closer to right. Even still I have to see the Steelers lose to the Bengals before I’ll believe it, my prediction 27-20 Steelers.
