Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

Two division rivals heading in opposite directions. Since losing the first two, defending AFC champion Cincinnati has won five of seven to pull within one game of Baltimore. They come off a bye week after playing five of eight on the road. The Bengals have a deadly passing attack behind QB Joe Burrow (18 TDs, 6 INTs) and WRs Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd ranked sixth in passing yards and scoring (25.3 ppg). The Bengals are on a 12-4 ATS run on the road, as well as 19-9 ATS against pass defenses that allow 235+ yards passing per contest. While the Bengals' offense is third in the NFL on third down (49.56%), the Steelers rank 26th. Last-place Pittsburgh has lost six of eight with quarterbacks Mitch Trubisky and rookie Kenny Pickett combining for 5 TDs and 10 picks. The offense is the second-worst in scoring (15.6 ppg), the fifth-worst in yards, and 23rd in yards per rush (4.2). And the Steelers are 2-9 ATS after a spread cover. Play Cincinnati.
