The Steelers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games as a road underdog. The Bengals are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. The under is 7-3 in Steelers last 10 games overall. The over is 7-3-1 in Bengals last 11 games as a favorite. The Steelers are 16-4-2 ATS in their last 22 meetings in Cincinnati and 21-9-1 ATS in their last 31 meetings.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are dealing with a lot of key injuries and their quarterback situation is daunting to say the least. Big Ben struggles to throw an accurate ball, and he has zero movement in the pocket. The Cincinnati Bengals have been hit or miss this season, but they are coming off a solid performance on the road against the Raiders, and maybe that’s the performance that gets them on track. There are better options out there, but I have slightly more confidence in the Bengals at home. I’ll lay the points.
