BENGALS

Steelers look shaky but after a two in a row losses going home to play for all the marbles I think they win this close high scoring game.

Eeeeeshhhhhhhhhhh - Pitt for the small, like way small. Don't see Marvin & The Red Rifle pumpin' it out this game................

I love my team, but that secondary is scaring me. Rivers and Romo picked on this Victorian kid as much as they could, and it worked. I wanted to rip out what little hair I have left. Don't be surprised to see Dalton do the exact same thing.

This game is a defining moment for each.Pitt will surely begin to doubt the hiring of Haley as Big Ben becomes more disgruntled with the offensive direction taking place.

Cinn needs to shine in a big game like this if they expect to be taken serious.Pitt is severely flawed and Bal is as always collapsing.

The amount of faith in Cinn isn't much but I'll tease them for the extra help to at least cover the larger spread.

Like the steelers here. After two straight losses they head back home in a do or die situation. I also like how they battled dallas like a veteran team. They own the bengals and will take it out on them. Bengals didnt impress me much If not for philly with a million turnovers they mightve won or kept it close and
Philly stinks! This will be a
Defense vs defense game. Hope it goes down to 3 by gametime. Black n Yellow it is!

I've seen many streaks end in recent weeks and I think this will be another one of them. PIT offensive line is horrendous and CIN has a decent pass rush. No Taylor in the secondary, I'll take CIN +4

CINCINNATI  + 4   (PRIME PLAY!)

JOSHCENCI12345,you are obviously were ignored by your parents and your teachers at very young age and now you are totally withdraw from people around you.YES, Pitt should send Big Ben to the bench after two straight losses. That's NOT laughable to bench an old QB. His time is gone and it's time for another QB to play. Pitt can give up this game to CINCI because the Bengals are playing much better than ur team. Do you understand dumb,dumb...............dumb.?

This is going to 3. Perfect spot to take the Steelers, they are undervalued by the public and the Bengals are overvalued due to their wins againt garbage teams like the raiders, eagles, chargers and chiefs.

OWNAGE IN THIS SERIES. . .PITT

Steelers & Big Ben get it together this week to continue their dominance over the Bungals. Pitt -4.5 & the under

i hate betting vs Steelers at home but this seems to be a good situation to do so.  they've beaten these bengals 9 times in a row so something has got to give especially with the condition their team is in right now.  before you put ur hard-earned $ on the steelers, i suggest you take a look at their offensive line right now cuzz it's in shambles.  meanwhile, i believe the bengals are leading the league in sacks.  this spells disaster for big ben & co.   also, steelers are going to be missing a corner and having to run with 2nd year unproven corner named curtis brown who Romo was lighting up last week.

Take Cincy with the points just in case they blow it but this may be the game that Cincy finally wins to put them in solid playoff position.

PROJ: CINCINNATI 38 - 27 PITTSBURGH

This is a tough pick, Adam jones is out, Dre kirkpatrick questionable and of course the steelers miss ike Taylor and Mike Adams.

Pitt plus under....

Under, under, and more on the under.....

pitts. gave up mass pts. in  last 2 weeks  to s.d  and dallas....bengals and over... but  bengals  fooooo sure

I'm from the Burg and a lifelong Steeler fan.But I've bet against them often.The have had a great record against the bengals.I just have feeling they're gonna win by more that 4.But it IS a "homeboy" opinion.

Some actual insight and not opinion: Pitt has won 54-3 combined L2 years in the playoff hunt at home in week 16.  They've already beaten Cincinnati TY at their house.  Pitt. has beaten all the good teams; Bal., NYG, WAS, & CIN.  I'm going with better defense at home with a good history in the playoff hunt.  Bengals get bounced.

i can see you're a rookie here and ur post clearly shows as much.  i also see that u have only posted 8 times on this thread so that's a good thing cuzz u clearly don't know about the NFL.  please do ur homework and study these teams before u post such comments.  let me tell u something SON - for the last 2 years, steelers defense ranks LAST in the league in turnovers. 

I don't win money by posting on covers "SON"  I don't have anything to prove to you or anyone else on this site.  Money talks, bull s hit walks.
