It’s not a BetOnline scam if you hear that Cincinnati is 6-2 in the NFL right now, but it should be no surprise that the Bengals are the underdogs at home this week against Pittsburgh, who are coming off a close loss and should be in a foul mood.

Steelers Bengals Odds – Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

The Steelers (6-3) fell 23-20 at home to Baltimore in another classic game between the two, and Pittsburgh was a little undisciplined in this contest as they had a couple of turnovers and the defense gave the Ravens three first downs because of penalties. The Steelers are still a solid pick in your betting software, but there are definitely chinks in the armor that can be taken advantage of.

The Bengals (6-2) got another big performance from rookie Andy Dalton, who threw three touchdowns and no picks in a 24-17 win at Tennessee, and people are starting to believe in Cincinnati. Dalton and fellow rookie, receiver A.J. Green, are leading an offense that doesn’t make many mistakes, and the defense has been playing very well. The knock on the Bengals is that they’ve beaten some bad teams, and this will be a good test for them.

Pittsburgh is favored by a field goal in Cincinnati, where they are 4-1 SU and ATS with three games going over the posted total, and they’re going to look at this as a team trying to take their spot in the North. The Bengals are much improved, but they’re not ready to stomp with the big dogs yet. Take Pittsburgh to cover in your sports betting online picks.
