This could be the game where 10+ points spread will be cover.

BENGALS +10.5
Careful...Fitzpatrick has thrown a TD on the road...and was sacked 8 times last week and was also sacked 7 times the last time they play Pittsburgh. It will be a long night for Fitzpatrick.

Couple of trends to remember to:
4-0 -- The Steelers' record this year when playing at night.
8-1 -- The team's record in night games under Mike Tomlin.
The last game between these two teams that didn't at least hit or go over 34 combined points was 11/21/04 when Pittsburgh won 19-14.
Steelers and Over.
But everyone else should pick the Bengals.

I can't believe how many people are on the bengals here. They're 1-8-1 people. I could care less if they played well the last two games when they went 1-0-1. They're missing 5 starters for this game (two offensive lineman, ocho cinco, ndukwe, and odom) and coming off a short week. One of the new offensive lineman will be matched up against James Harrison, who is a legitimate candidate for defensive mvp right now. That could force them to double team him or keep an extra back in to help block, but this should only help free lamar woodley on the other side get to fitzpatrick easier. Obviously the Steelers are coming off a short week too but they seem to be getting healthier. Big Ben wasn't on the injury report this week, willie parker should be healthier than last week, and heath miller should play. Not to mention the bengals have the 30th ranked offense in the nfl going up against the steelers all-around number one defense (1st in total defense, 1st against the run, 1st against the pass, 1st in total points allowed). I expect the Steelers to dominate, cause some turnovers, and put up some points, they put up 38 on them last game. I also think the Steelers offense is going to want to be more efficient in the red zone (get touchdowns instead of field goals) than they have been the last couple of weeks.

The field between the hashmarks will be an UTTER MESS!!!
Didn't anyone watch the chargers game?
When ben went to plant and throw, his feet were still sliding around. ANYBODY with a body on them will be going next to nowhere. The only mildly successfull running was to the outside.
I guesss under, my local has it at freeken 33. Too low.
I just think in these conditoins, how can you blow anybody out? That is just not going to happen.
Foe Kitty backers, just hope Pitt doesn't make enough plays to get 3 or 4 more FGs than the cats. There is your key to success. How many FGs are made by the Steelers.
I'm on the domesticated house cats for a small play

Your first statement is true
But no offense bro the second statement IMHO does matter. With Chad out that's one less threat this strong Pitt defense has to worry about.
IMHO it does matter when I feel that this Cincy team will not be able to run against this Pitt front seven and has to revert to their passing game and if Chad is not out there that will leave TJ out there in double coverage. Carson Palmer would probably be able to squeeze it into double coverage but I think Fitz has limitations to his ability.
I also feel with Chad out the Steelers can throw in some blitz packages involving their safeties to put a lot more pressure on the Cincy back up.
But then again I could be totally way off and you could be spot on and 100% correct.
Good luck today

Decided to invest in this one before my local decides to jack up the line. The only thing that worries me is that Pitt has screwed me a couple of times already this season. Luckily I did not touch the Pitt/SD game I'll probably be a lot more pissed at them.
Pitt at the half -7
Aloha and good luck to all

Dont forget about Chris Henry he should feel some obligation here and step up like a man and get open tonite and if he is not open throw to him anyway he can take it away from any back in the NFL,use his talent tonite for once this year,and Fitzy keep on rolling out all night long and ware this #1 defense down.When these two teams play you can throw all the stats out the window and enjoy a brawl.Bengals 17-10

It definitely makes a difference that Chad isn't playing. Don't forget that the Bengals already lost 2 other receivers this week to injury (chatman and simpson). They are going to have to rely on guys that would normally be their 6th or 7th receiver on the depth chart(just call them guys on the practice squad). And don't expect Cedric Benson to run on this defense. No person or team has been able to do it all year and the Steelers have faced some pretty good competition. Bengals will be playing from behind in this one and Fitzpatrick will have to throw to guys he's never even heard of before and do it behind an o-line that is beat up and going against the best pass rush in the league. And I'm pretty sure I just talked myself into betting more money on this game. Steelers huge.
I'm only posting these to help the people that are still undecided on this game. If you're sold on the Bengals go ahead and bet them. I do not want to talk you out of it.
