Steelers vs Bengals Prediction

I’ll lean toward the Steelers but you could make a case either way here. Games between these teams always seem to be close, and you can throw the records out the window. In any case, Pittsburgh is rested and coming off their bye week—not to mention sitting on a four-game win streak. In their latest outing versus the Browns, the Steelers put up 21 first downs, 361 total yards and a 4-of-11 success rate on third downs. On defense Pittsburgh surrendered 319 yards with 17 first downs alongside a couple of takeaways. The Steelers have given up fewer than 20 points in each of the last three games.

These teams last met up on September 27 in a 30-27 home win for the Steelers. In that one Pittsburgh notched 411 total yards with 22 first downs and 7-of-12 on third-down tries. The defense gave up 352 yards and 6-of-12 on third downs but also had a couple of key takeaways. We’re looking at a pretty intense rematch here, but if the Steelers defense shows up I think they can get a road win to sweep the season series between two teams that are playing well right now. This should be one of the better games to watch over the weekend.
