Prediction
All three of Pittsburgh’s losses this season have come against teams with a losing record and Cincinnati could be the best sub-.500 team in NFL history – at least offensively. The defense needs to improve, but Burrow and company are piling up the yards and points lately. Luckily for the Bengals defense, the Steelers are coming to town. Pittsburgh’s offense has stalled the last few weeks and I think this is where Cincy’s D comes up big, while the offense produces just enough for the win and cover.
Pick: Bengals -3
