NFL experts still banking on a Steelers win this week

Despite a turbulent week for the Pittsburgh Steelers including COVID-19 and injuries, the 8-0 squad still had the eye of more NFL pundits when it comes to this week’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Looking at the picks on NFL Pick Watch, 92 percent of experts are still picking the Steelers to get the win at home. As of now, the SSteelers have multiple starters on the Reserve/COVID-19 list including linebacker Vince Williams and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Assuming there are no problems this week, both guys should be activated on Saturday and play on Sunday.

The same cannot be said for starting tight end Vance McDonald who tested positive and isn’t likely to play.

Meanwhile the Bengals are sitting at 2-5-1 but have hope in rookie quarterback Joe Burrow. There are still some missing pieces but you can tell the Bengals are a team on the rise.

But I want to pass the question off to you. Can the Steelers keep their undefeated streak up or will they slip up against the Bengals?
