Reinforcements are on the way for the Steelers. The Chargers strafed their depleted defense for 41 points Sunday. LB T.J. Watt, S Minkah Fitzpatrick and CB Joe Haden all could return. QB Ben Roethlisberger seems to thrive the more banged up he is. The Steelers dominated this series, winning 14 of 15 straight-up, before Cincy took the last two meetings.
The Bengals beat the Steelers in Week 3, giving them a rare opportunity to sweep their division rivals for the first time since 2009. The Steelers defense was horrendous without three of its best players, but all are expected to practice this week. Cincinnati should have success in the running game against Pittsburgh regardless of who plays, but a commitment to running the ball would be atypical for the Bengals. The Steelers offense benefited from several short fields in their cover last week, but all in all the offense played well in a tough matchup despite the run game surprisingly struggling. This feels likely to be a three-point game either way, so I love getting it north of four here.
