The Steelers went into their bye week strong with a prime-time victory against
Jacksonville, while the Bengals limp home to Cincinnati with the only 0-6 record
in the NFL. With Carson Palmer out for his 2nd consecutive week, the Bengals
might try to re-establish their offense through the rushing game, but they only
average 72.2 yards on the ground per game. They might have trouble even reaching
that number, as the Steelers allow only 66.8 rushing yards per game and have
faced opponents with much more consistant ground attacks (Jacksonville,
Baltimore, Philly). Look for Pittsburgh to make a statement game after having 4
consecutive games decided by less than 10 points.
Pick: Pittsburgh
