The Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cincinnati Bengals
Game Prediction!
The Pick: Bengals / Steelers UNDER 44.5
The Steelers have been showing off some awesome defense all year, even now in late November! The Bengals have a strong offense, but they really lean on Chase and can't run the ball well, which the Steelers are totally aware of. By this point in the season, teams that can't run the ball usually hit a wall, and that's likely to happen here against the best defense around! We've seen the Steelers keep good offenses to low scores for the past couple of months, and they did it again last week. They'll probably do it again this game! I wouldn't be shocked if the Steelers win, but the safer bet is to go with the under in this game!
