It's Thanksgiving, and appropriately the Bengals will repeatedly stuff a turkey, about eight yards behind the LOS.  

Steelers 19
Bengals 31

What say you?

There are 3 RIVAL GAMES in Ohio over Thanksgiving.  You can throw out all the season stats in a Rival Game. 

Cleveland Browns at the Original Cleveland Browns who moved to Baltimore as The Ravens leaving Cleveland to go to court to keep their team name and uniforms in case they could ever get an expansion team.  That is a RIVAL GAME.   But as Sam Wyche said, I don't live in Cleveland. 

Another RIVAL GAME, probably THE RIVAL GAME is Ohio State at Michigan.  The old saying that you can't win them all.  Ohio State will someday lose again to Michigan, and it just might be Saturday.  At Ann Arbor and over 100 Thousand full of mostly Michigan Fans. Michigan is top rated also. I'm sure Michigan is tired of hearing about losing to Ohio State.  That place is going to be going nuts way before kick-off.  Buckeyes will go into a real snake pit and the 12th Man Crowd Noise Momentum is ALL MICHIGAN.   I'm an Ohio State Fan since 1960's, but I NEVER like At Ann Arbor.  If the game was in Columbus, but it ain't.  At Ann Arbor, and Michigan will be ready.  Ohio State freshman quarterback has never played at Michigan, and it is like no other game, he could get rattled.  The crowd noise will be louder than a jet taking off.  

Then there is Bengals RIVAL GAME of Pittsburgh Steelers.  It's hard to beat the Steelers twice in the same season, Bengals have only did that a few times in their history.  Steelers come in wanting REVENGE over that loss and they do NOT want THE SWEEP.   Big Ben is playing better and that makes Steelers better.  They have that runner Harris, good pass catchers, a good kicker, and The Steelers Defense has put up games lately looking more like A Steelers Defense.  We can throw out Home Field Advantage because often The Bengals win there and The Steelers win here, and half of Cincinnati Stadium will be Steelers Fans anyway. 

So I don't care about Browns at Ravens.   I'm an Ohio State Fan with a gut feeling Ann Arbor gets us this year.   I'm a Bengals Fan with a gut feeling The Steelers avoid The Sweep,  It's on that one that I hope I am wrong.  I hope The Bengals get the broom out and get The Steelers Sweep in 2021.  I look for all 3 Games to be very hard games.  No touch footy ball in these games, these will be hard nose, tough as nails Wars.  Bloody noses and banged up players carried off in all 3 games.  No touch footy ball in these games.  

I want The Bengals to win more than The Buckeyes.  If only one of my teams can win this weekend, let it be The Bengals.  The Buckeyes Fans have had many years of winning seasons.  The Bengals Fans have had the losing seasons.  So this weekend I hope BENGALS WIN, but it will be tough.  The Steelers are going to play with Revenge and Hate and Try to avoid The Sweep and Stay in The Play-Off Hunt.  

Steelers are going to be one tough football game.  Fans can deny it, but Bengal players on the field are going to be in for a long, rough day of Hard Hits.   I just hope Bengals WIN, and that Joe Burrow walks off the field at end of game not too injured after this Steelers War. 

GO BENGALS, and my up side is I have great Thanksgiving Food for this weekend of hard nosed games that are not Touch Footy Ball. 

I'll take a Bengals Win by 1 point, if it gets The Steelers Sweep.
