Steelers vs. Bengals Final Score Prediction
SI Betting’s Iain MacMillan broke down this game in his Road to 272 Bets column, in which he picks each game every week:
I've been writing for more than a week now about how I'm all in on the Bengals, so it'd be hypocritical of me to bet against them in a big Sunday Night Football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since Week 4, the Bengals' offense has led the NFL in both EPA per play and success rate, and Joe Burrow is leading every NFL quarterback in virtually every passing metric despite already having his BYE week.
The Steelers are coming off their BYE week, but it's important to note that they've had the fourth-easiest schedule in the NFL through the first nine weeks. Despite having a cupcake start to their schedule, they're just 14th in net yards per play, and their offense is in the bottom half of the NFL in both EPA per play and success rate.
This game is going to show us that the Bengals are contenders and the Steelers are pretenders. Lay the points on Cincinnati.
Pick: Bengals -3.5 (-105) via TheScore Bet
The Bengals have shown that they’re for real in recent weeks. Their only two losses came at Pittsburgh and at home against the Jaguars, who we now know are for real themselves.
It’s hard to bet against the Steelers coming out of a bye week, but they haven’t done enough against tough opponents to warrant a bet on them, either.
Final Score Prediction: Bengals 27, Steelers 23
