I don't even think it's all that close. Flacco has a career 71.9 rating against us.
The Steelers have owned the Bengals for the most part, but we've had some pretty big wins over them in key games. Knocking them out of the playoffs in '12 comes to mind. Beat them in Heinz last year when our QB was healthy. Had them dead to rights in the playoffs.
Also, be honest - do you predict that the Steelers pull off a sweep this year? I don't.
Point One Shake - That's the irony of these 3 teams. Bengals have owned the Ravens, Ravens have owned the Steelers, and the Steelers have owned the Bengals????? Crazy!!!
My prediction for the Steelers games are based on how the first game goes. Meaning?
1. How they respond to the Steelers ***** slapping.
2. In the last 5 years, counting the playoff game, the Bengals are 3 and 9 against the Steelers, and 2 of the 3 wins have come AT Pittsburgh.
If they win in Pittsburgh, without Burfict, and don't respond to the ***** slapping, I say they got a good shot at a sweep, however they have a hard time beating them at home for some reason.
