This week the Pittsburgh Steelers welcome the Cincinnati Bengals to town fresh off of a big win over the New Orleans Saints. Meanwhile Cincinnati is coming off of its bye week. How do these factors influence the NFL pundits and their picks for this week?
According to NFL Pick Watch, most experts don’t believe the Steelers will sweep the season series against Cincinnati. Currently, 89 percent of expert picks curated at NFL Pick Watch are taking the Bengals over the Steelers despite the game being in Pittsburgh.
The Steelers beat the Bengals 20-18 in Week One of the regular season thanks to a ridiculous performance by the Steelers defense. Pittsburgh sacked quarterback Joe Burrow seven times and forced him into four interceptions.
Nevertheless, the Bengals are playing better football now and the Steelers are still trying to figure out ways to manufacture yards and points on offense. The Steelers are five-point home underdogs at home but are coming off of a win.
