Now this all important game at Cincinnati? I don't like the Steelers offense on the road. They are a better socring offense at-home compared to the road.

#Steelers average 35.0 at home compared to just 18.3 on the road and Big Ben has only thrown six of his 26 touchdowns on the road.

#Bengals run defense will be tested today versus Le'Veon Bell. After the Bengals allowed 170 rushing yards vs the Browns they have fared much better in this category. Since then Bengals allows 3.06 yards per carry.

#Another streaky trend that speaks for the Bengals is that they play good in December. Over the past two years the Bengals are 4-1 in December
.
#Getting A.J. Green back after injury in the past games helped the Bengals as well. With Mohamed Sanu the Bengals have a good 2nd dangerous targed to throw to.

#Dalton has been sacked only 14 times - fewer than Peyton Manning so far and Pittsburgh's pass rush has only 21 sacks so far

I know that the Steelers have won 11 of the last 12 games in Cincinnati which is one of the trends that favors to pick the Steelers but looking at only one trend and isolate it from other factors like current game performance is not always helpful.

I like the Bengals at-home in this matchup. Oh by the way the Bengals won their last home game vs the Steelers 20-10.

I called the outright win at +1300, I won 1950 on a 150 bet. Still the best pick of the year. I have private players that ride with me, I will probably not post on covers much but if I get bored and see people on the wrong side I wil throw a bone at times. gl all
