Bengals@Steelers Predictions

[*ochocincos*]

Steelers 24, Bengals 13
Specifically, the Bengals will be down 17-13 in the 4th quarter and end up giving up a big play (offensive or defensive) to seal it for the Steelers.

While the OL deficiencies have been masked with Lazor coming in, the Bengals still will be without Eifert and John Ross, so it will be tough to come from behind. Plus we know Bodine struggles with 3-4 NTs.
The Steelers meanwhile have all their offensive starters healthy and I expect will rely heavily on Le'Veon Bell given how the Bengals have stifled Antonio Brown in the past few years. Ryan Shazier and/or Mike Mitchell (if not suspended from his hit on Alex Smith) will put on some dirty hit on a Bengals player because they do it every game. The Steelers go to 5-2 and the Bengals go to 2-4, adding to the (false) narrative that this Steelers team is the AFC favorite now.
