The Bengals favourites against the Steelers?
Who'd a thunk it?
The Steelers were horrible on offense last week (and that's being generous) then they lost Pouncey for the season and Larry Foote and LaRod Stephens-Howling are also out.
There's no run game and very little pass protection for Roethlisberger, so it looks pretty bleak against a Bengals defense that has real talent up front.
Cincinnati will have to cope with a Steelers defense who will be fighting hard to preserve the honour of the franchise and they're going to be desperate to get to Andy Dalton. Andrew Whitworth is back at left tackle and that will help. A J Green is a game-changing receiver whose battle with Ike Taylor should be a highlight. Then there's Troy Polamalu ...
Back the dog in MNF and never oppose Roethlisberger on primetime. Two maxims to live by.
Ah well.
Pick: Cincinnati Bengals -6.5 @ 1.95
Pick: 1st TD Giovani Bernard @ 15
Pick: Anytime TD Antonio Brown @ 3 (Paddy Power)
