I would not trade our weapons for the Steelers', we have a better defense, we're at home and we already beat them in Pittsburgh when they had Leveon Bell for a half.

This will be a close, hard fought game as usual. Our D matches up well with their O. We have an excellent d-line so Ben won't have all day to sit around picking out big plays downfield. We have a top 5 pass defense that is outstanding at limiting opponents to short throws (6.7 ypa).

In short, I'm more confident in our offense's ability to hang points on their D than vice versa.

Bengals- 27
Steelers- 20

I agree.  Especially since this is the team that will be AFC North champs, going to playoffs as current #1 Seed and Legitimate Super Bowl contender at this point vs. a sorry Pittsburgh team that very likely will be sitting at home during the playoffs... Again.  This is also the team that beat Pittsburgh already in Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh has had more injuries and this Cincinnati team has gotten healthier since then.  And our QB hasn't gained 50 lbs this season eating donuts in knee rehab.
