Don’t be shocked if the bengals are slight favorites ahead of that game.
The one point about the Patriots is they have a great run defense. It was head-scratching that the Steelers kept trying to run the ball against them. They ran 28 times for an average of 2.9/carry. And that was because of the QB running effectively. Najee had 12 carries for 2.4 yards/carry and Warren 7 carries for 1.6 yards/carry. They just kept running against the number 3 defense against the run.
The Steelers had an absolute terrible game plan against the Patriots and never adjusted it.
