Steelers vs. Bengals Prediction and Pick

As I broke down for BetSided earlier this week, Cincinnati's defense is underrated, and driving the Bengals postseason push.

"Cincinnati's defense is flying under the radar this season, seventh in EPA/Play this season, and should be able to keep a lid on the Ben Roethlisberger-led offense that is dead last in passing success rate this season. While Roethlisberger put up a big stat line in a chaotic Chargers game last week, I'll side with the season long metrics that show the Steelers offense as one of the worst in the league."

However, there has been some line movement throughout the week, likely due to the injury report for Pittsburgh as they await the return of the likes of T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick. Good news came by the way of the injury report, with both on track to play Sunday.

However, this line remains at above -4.5, I expect this to drop ahead of game time with money pouring in to back a healthier Steelers squad, I'd play the Bengals then at -3.

PICK: Wait for Bengals -3
