Grab Cincy +14.5 while you can, I don’t care who is at QB for Cincy
Problem is the offense is terrible.. Steelers might only need 24 points to cover..
Bengals only scored 7 pts vs Dallas who has the worst defense..

@maryland7
Exactly, line should be -18, cincy will cover, pitt isn’t very good
@maryland7
Not too many divisional games that you see with the line this big

@Maverick11
Just out of curiosity...why exactly are the Bengals gonna be so fired up for this one??
It’s a divisional game...so what? They’re not competing for the playoffs and not even a situation where they could play spoiler and prevent Pittsburgh from getting in. They are 2-10-1 and an atrocious football team. They’ve seen their star QB and only hope for the future have a season ending (possibly career altering) injury, and they see the finish line 3 weeks away. They are just their to collect their cheque, sick of the grind, sick of dealing with the protocols this year, just try to stay healthy and get paid again next season.
The only thing a Bengals cover has going for it is Pittsburgh knows they can win this game at 40% and also just trying to stay uninjured. So the question is...does Pittsburgh show up and give 40% (Bengals maybe cover), or do they show up and give 70% (Steelers cover)?

Normally Head Coach Mike Tomlin will lift his foot from an over-matched opponents' throat and not participate in a wholesale execution. Back on a normal schedule and despite those mounting injuries, I sense that the Steelers will win by a big margin (20+).
I am not betting this game...in game, anything could happen and to have to makeup such a big number is taking a big risk with any two teams.
Pittsburgh is thin on the O line...they are using their backup center Hassenauer as their left tackle or guard...at linebacker, they are using one of their big safeties on the inside as a run stopper again as they did in the Buffalo game (gee, what could go wrong there?), pretty sure Vince Williams their #1 tackler and run stopper is still out on the covid list, the fine replacement for Devin Bush (Robert Spillane) is still out with non surgical knee problems, their oft injured, best runner Conner, such as he is, is out yet again with a quad injury. Their kicker still has lingering hip pain...so they have serious health issues.
Pitts needs the rest of December and into January in order to heal. If they were smart, Pittsburgh would win this game to lockup the AFC North division and then rest their starters and wounded players for the last two games against Indy and Cleveland...if they are not healthy for the playoffs then it doesn't really matter if they are #2 seed or #3 seed as they will be one and done in their current state.
I expect Indy to bring their 'A' game in week 16 @ Pittsburgh as they are tied with Tenny for division lead and who will be in GB. Baltimore is hot on Indy's trail for a playoff spot and as the Colts lost to the Ravens, Baltimore owns the tie breaker against them for any playoff spot.
Plenty of motivation for Indy and what does Pittsburgh have to play hard for? To ensure that they meet the healthier and red hot Ravens (possibly the 7th seed) for a 3rd time this year in the playoffs?
With the 3rd seed Pitts would get the first playoff game at home and avoid playing another hard fought battle with the Ravens. They would then be well rested and healthier which for a crippled team is huge IMO.
Let the undersized Bills who have beaten 3 crippled teams in a row to take on Baltimore so that we can see what they are really made of. Some on here think the Bills are supermen...prove it against a healthy and physical team like the Ravens or Titans.
