The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals square off this week and according to Bet MGM, the Steelers are heavy road favorites. The current line has the Steelers as 6.5-point favorites.

Cincinnati’s season has been a comedy of errors. The lingering mysterious ankle injury of wide receiver AJ Green and the benching of quarterback Andy Dalton just highlight how bizarre things have gone for the Bengals and factor heavily into why Cincinnati is 0-10.

The Steelers, on the other hand, have clawed their way to 5-5 after starting the season 1-4. The Steelers are 65-35 lifetime against the Bengals and 17-3 in the last 20 games. Pittsburgh is dealing with a rash of injuries but still should have the weapons, especially on defense to keep this game in hand.
