Pittsburgh owns the Bungles, especially at Riverfront Stadium. Pitt has won last 5 games in cincy s/u,  including a 4-0-1 ats record. Pittsburgh is rested and coming coming off a bye week. They should have Parker back for this contest along with with some other injured starters. Waiting for line to come out, but thinking Pittsburgh rolls easy.

I dont post too often but have been doing well in NFL this year so thought I would share my thoughts.
 
Bye weeks. Miami, Rams, and last night the Browns, all pulled upsets off the bye. While Pitt is favored here, i still think they take advantage of the rest and ROLL Cincy.
 
I almost never put games in before gameday but this is one i'll be on this AM...

It is hard to play the Bungles with no Palmer in there.

I agree zoro. something's up with the o/u.
 
-Pitt averages 14 points on the road and gives us 14 points
-cin averages 9 points at home and gives up 22
 
On the contrary, i'm liking cincinnati 1st half,
 
-pit averages at the half, 11 and opponents 8
-cin averages at the half, 8 and opponents 11
 
Looks like it's Cincy @ 1st half and Under for the game.

I don't see Pittsburgh running away here,I'm going to enjoy watching this game regardless the record,(0-6). This is going to be a bar fight come sunday and anything could happen! I hate Pittsburgh because they seem like a bunch of "cheap shot punks" And to me what goes around comes around! Bring it on.

I'm loving pittsburgh in this spot.  its hardly even worth putting an explanation.
 
pitt is physical and healthy coming off a bye.  i dont even consider this home field advantage for cincy.  ben roth feels right at home playing there and i think the rest of the team relishes the opportunity to silence the stadium.  cincy will be lying down before the first half is over. cincy is good for at least 2 turnovers..
 
PITT for 8 units
and yessir i did get carried away
 
if not
GTECH -2 (5 units) 
 
(this is the biggest ive gone so far this year so I gotta cash on at least one)

Pittsburgh - 20                                 Cincinnati - 14
Bengals +9.5               under 3.5
I like betting the Bengals when;
1. the O/U line is <38 points.
2. they are home vs an opponent coming off a SU away win.

With Carso Palmer, it's a whole different story, but as long as Fitzpatrick is the QB, I'm always going to have to go against him.  Steelers are coming off of a bye week so their players should be well rested heading into this game.

Bungals are last in overall offense while Steelers are ranked 2nd in overall defense.

Steelers should cover the spread like how the Jets and Browns did.

If this line would go down to 9.5 on Blowdog, I would gladly jump all over it, however the 10 points scares me off on account of a crappy backdoor cover when the Steelers have already locked up the game...for example when they are up 24-7 with 3 minutes left and the Bungals score.  May look into a first half bet, as the Steelers are usually EXTREMELY good at jumping on weaker opponents in the 1st half.

On second thought...the 1st half line on Blowdog is at 6.5, and that is right up my alley!!

Pittsburgh -6.5 1st half

Might consider CIN if off a bye- but they aren't they lost to the NYJ last week. Think their defense can play well enough and PIT may be content with running the clock out if they get a lead. Without Palmer in there I can't see CIN scoring more than 10. I am on the under. GLTA

Pittsburgh is one of the best teams in the AFC right now and will not miss a beat against the lowly Bengals because Tomlin has too much pride to allow that to happen. Even though this matchup features two AFC North rivals, the Steelers will prevail with a strong running attack and another precise passing show from Roethlisberger against a decent Cincinnati secondary. It's hard to believe the Bengals are that good at defending the pass, but Big Ben will find a way to spoil the show at Paul Brown Stadium, where he is 5-0. The spotlight will be even brighter on Lewis when the Bengals come one loss closer to matching Shula's 1994 squad's dubious team record. Steelers 27, Bengals 17

No Carson Palmer, No running game, 2 disgruntled wide receivers suspect defense and a head coach on a very hot seat going up against a team some predict to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.  Not to mention that Pittsburgh is coming off a bye.
