Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals

The Steelers putting up basically a donut offensively in last week's game against the Titans was no fluke. They lost there most important player on the team besides the QB to a season ending injury early in the 1Q. Ask any coach in the league how hard it is to lose your center in the middle of a game and make adjustments on the fly. It's damn near impossible. Well, as important of a player as Pouncey is to that team, they've now had a whole week to make adjustments. 6.5 points in a divisional game with two teams trying to avoid going 0-2 is absurd. The Steelers aren't going to roll over against a team they've always beat. Think of the Bengals as a much improved team all you want but the Steelers aren't going to rollover in a venue where they thrive against a team that they know in a primetime game where they excel. If you didn't see it last week, the Steelers defense is as good as ever, only giving up 16 points despite short fields and the offense not being able to hold on to the ball for any lengthy drive. Don't count these Steelers out yet.

1. Bengals are 12-27 ATS as a favorite since 2007.
2. Andy Dalton is 0-4 ATS as a favorite coming off a loss.
3. Marvin Lewis is 4-9 ATS in nationally televised regular-season games.

Steelers Over 17 (5x)                                                             Steelers +6.5 (-102) (4x)                                                        Steelers ML (+240) (1x)

only thing that bothers me is they couldn't score against a titans def. why was that?

BOL Bud always love your work and will be on the Steelers tonight as well

Great info and I've already played Steelers+6.5 lets win this

Im diehard Steeler fan so was worried about pulling trigger but 7 points is a lot. BOL Capper

bol lc  

How are the Steelers going to score? Who is going to rise to the occasion ?

The computer model I'm looking at says Bengals have a 67 percent chance of winning.

They couldn't score last week because they lost there center midgame and couldn't make adjustments. They couldn't pass protect or run the ball due to their line issues. Again they've now had 7 days to make adjustments not 7 minutes like when they faced the titans

BOL !!   

That's a lot of units. Lets get it bro!

LC can you please give me a strong lean on a Thursday/Sunday game id like to tease with tonights game.

Good Luck

Mike you can do an open ended teaser on 5dimes and pick the second team later, havnt dove in to next weeks games much yet. Either way teasing a line at +6.5 doesn't provide much value anyways. Just buy the half point to 7 should be good enough
