Date/Time: Sunday, October 21 / 08:10:00 PM ET, Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OHJust 283 miles down the road from Pittsburgh sits a little place called Paul Brown Stadium. While it happens to be the home of the Cincinnati Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers feel almost equally at home there, too.
The close proximity means you can expect to see seas of black and gold in the stands—something that’s clearly helped the Pittsburg Steelers. The Steelers have won 11 out of 13 matchups in Cincinnati since the stadium opened in 2000, making it a prime setting for a Pittsburgh victory—at least on the surface. But there’s more to the story here. After a disappointing lost to the Titans last week, they’re looking for a win in their first game against an AFC North opponent, and the current odds on NFL show them as favorite to complete this task.
The Bengals are 3-3, and they’ve lost two in a row. But online sportsbook members will remember that they have A.J. Green in their corner, who is arguably one of the best receivers in the NFL.
The Steelers’ defense problems might make that home-style road game seem less favorable. Pittsburgh’s defensive line has combined for a total of three sacks. And overall, they haven’t been able to put on the pressure. That’s also led to a lack of turnovers (they’ve forced just six this season).
Also not helping the Steelers is their lack of healthy players on the field. Troy Polamalu, Marcus Gilbert, and Chris Carter are all out for Sunday. In fact, the Steelers’ offensive line is so bruised that Mike Tomlin, the head coach, says they’re thinking about moving up players from the practice squad.
Game Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers: -1.5 -110, ML -125
Cincinnati Bengals: +1.5 -105, ML -500
Game Total: 45.5, o/u -110
