Steelers at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 34, Steelers 27

Moneyline

PASS.

There is better value on the spread.

Against the spread

BET BENGALS -3 (-110).

Cincinnati has been hot offensively, scoring 27 or more points in its last 3 games. Coming off a bye week, expect its defense to come out with a new look that will provide the necessary backing to assist Burrow and the offense in a big home win.

Pittsburgh has scored 19 or fewer points in back-to-back games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 47 (-110).

While the Pittsburgh-Cincinnati matchup is typically a battle in the trenches, expect both sides to come out firing and put up a lot of points. Burrow and Chase are each having NFL-leading seasons, while the Bengals defense has been a big issue. Pittsburgh has hit the Over in 5 of its last 6, while Cincinnati has hit the Over in 4 straight.
