Cincinnatti (+3 1/2) at Pittsburgh (9-18-16)

[oldunclemark]

1 p.m. EST  Mid-70s, good chance of rain

Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts and Evan Washburn on CBS

over-under 48.5

 

Hard core rivals will look to take a 1-game lead over the other.

Big Ben Rothlisberger (27 of 37, 300 yards, 3 Tds, 1 INT) has WR Antonio Brown (8 catches, 126 yards) to throw to and DeAngelo Williams (26 rushes, 143 yards) to hand off to.

"Mr. Regular Season" Andy Dalton (23 of 39, 366 yards 1 TD, 1 INT) was sacked seven times last week but he brought his team from behind to win 23-22 over the Jets with the help of AJ Green (12 catches, 180 yards)

Bengals TE Tyler Eifert is out again.

 

Game of the week...last year's playoff game got ugly and the over-under on ejections is 2 here..

But the Steelers gave up 300 yards passing last week in a game they won. Steelers were without four regulars on offense last week...but they aren't playing the Redskins this Sunday..

 

3 1/2 is too much I'd take Cincinnatti quick before that spread goes down. Pittsburgh defense is suspect..Dalton threw for 366 against the Jets, have a better 'D' than Pittsburgh.

the over is a trap because of how easily easily Pitt scored last week...I'd stay away from the over

I guess I like Pittsburgh at home then.

 

But, Cincy has these ways of pulling out regular season victories. Going with the Steelers though for now.

 

I don't think I would bet on this rivalry though.

I cant wait for this game. This has nastiness written all over it! I like the Steelers to win this but barely!

   I don't know fi the Bengals couldn't run last week or if it was simply easier through the air

Looks like a little rain in Pittsburgh

Yeah they do. I don't like the Steelers but they were my pick to win the Conference.

Looks like the steelers are too tired to finish the game lol.

Bengals trying to rally.

That wasn't a fumble  but Pitt gets all the calls, another example of it. By picking the Steelers to win the AFC I even have the REFS on my side. The guys knee was down.

[Andrew Luck fan club]

It definitely looked like they were about to come back. And yeah Pittsburg lucked out on that call too

and if you took Cincinatti with 3 1/2,,,,

....well..it rained...you lost
