The last time I felt really confident in them was the run to SB 40. Bettis laying out Urlacher set the tone. You just knew it was their time and they were going to get it done.
I agree the Steelers are maddeningly inconsistent. They beat division leaders and lose to bottom feeders every year.
But this years Bengal's seem a "middling" team. Not dangerous enough to pull off an upset and not bad enough to make this a trap game.
There may be some close calls as the Steelers leave them in the game, but I do not see the Bengals winning this one.
They'll be rested, but perhaps less focused. They are just not the 8-0 team that took Bell out in 2015.
