Semi-prime time game
Two different sets of rules
The bengals are going to have to beat that living snot out of the steelers in order to come away victorious. The closer this is to a competitive game the higher chance of a steelers victory. The holding (and lack of holding) calls. The potential "personal fouls" going one way and not the other.
I think the bengals can win, but they have to play smart and within themselves. Shazier and Mitchell are likely to hit hard and illegal, but there can't be an equal reaction. Lawson, Dunlap, Geno will likely be held often, but they will need to move to the next play.
It sucks, but it's the truth. If the bengals don't play mistake free and smart football, it'll be hard to overcome the potential and recent ref/league Bias.
