Steelers -9.5 (5 units) vs. Bengals - the Steelers had a bye week which allowed Big Ben to get some needed rest and an extra week to prepare for the Bungals. Carson Palmer is out again which means Ryan Fitzpatrick takes the snaps, and he should be used to game action by now. Pittsburgh will be throwing a ton of blitzes on the inexperienced QB so be ready for a lot of sacks and some INTs. The Bengals fans have been dumping tickets like crazy for this game, and their remaining home games. Normally the stadium would probably be like 60/40 Cincy fans... but now I expect it to be reversed tp 65/35 Steelers fans. It'll be very close to a home game for them which will vastly increase the Steeler's energy level. Only problem I see here is that Fast Willie is out again, which means Melwelde Moore is at RB. Nothing to worry about really since he is a decent backup and Ben has showed he can win when throwing the ball 30+ times.
