This team has more division titles and wins over the last 5 years. What's more relevant when making a prediction? Super Bowls from the distant past or actual recent results? Looking at recent history, the Bengals are far more consistent. The Steelers are as likely (if not more so) to go 8-8 as they are 12-4.
Especially with Bryant out, Heath gone, Bell coming off yet another serious injury, and no string of 6 consecutive backup QBs on their schedule. I'd argue that the Bengals are a more logical choice to win the division.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
