Current line -
Cincinnati -6.5 / 40.5
Pittsburgh +6.5
So tempted to buy 1/2 pt and go Pittsburgh + a TD here. Tough divisional match-up that the Steeler's have dominated
going something like 13-2 SU @ Cincy since '98 and 12-2-1 ATS. I realize Pittsburgh looked horrible on offense last week
but the Jets looked horrible 2 weeks in a row and still went 2-0 ATS winning once as 4 pt dogs and losing by just 3 to the
Pats as 12 pt dogs. The reason they did so was in large part to defense, which Pittsburgh has. Their defense can keep
them in this game and Roethlisberger can work with very little at times.
Cincy managed just 30 pts total in the 2 match-ups last year and Dalton had just 1 TD pass to 3 INT's in those 2 games.
The Bengals also had trouble running the ball with just 14 yds in one and just 80 yds in the other. Pittsburgh held them to
185 total yards in one and just 267 yds in the other. 2 of Cincy's 3 total TD's were from a pick 6 and another resulted from
a Steeler TO at the 8 yd line, so 1 TD drive in 8 quarters.
I think people are over-reacting to Pittsburgh's offensive woes last week but after how bad they were they still held the Titans
to just 16 pts and only lost by 7. Tennessee had scoring drives of just 49 yds (TD), 37 yds (FG), 62 yds (FG) and 8 yds (FG) and
just 229 yds of total offense. I'll take the Steeler's to at least cover a TD.
