Last week I gave yall the Saints (congrats to those who followed), and this week I'm giving you 3 reasons to bet...
Steelers +3
1. Steelers have been on a roll out gaining all 5 of their last 5 opponents in yardage win or loss (including against Cincinnati although not by much) and have covered against the Bengals over 80% of the time in recent years.
2. Whenever Steelers lose at home in the previous match-up with their opponent, they come back for blood the next time around.
3. Steelers always step it up in this time of the season, And despite the Bengals being the best bet in the NFL this year, they have historically dropped the ball this week in recent years. So if it was ever a time to bet against them, it would be now. They are 10-1-1 ATS. It's rare a team gets more than 11-12 covers in a season. So just thinking with simple probability, the 4 teams remaining are the Steelers, 49ers, Broncos, and Ravens. I doubt they cover all 4 and if I had to choose it wouldn't be the Ravens or the 49ers to do it.
So basically here we have a motivated team in crunch time with Big Ben at qb, that has historically covered against this specific opponent for years...as the underdog in a divisional game.
But remember, I'm no psychic good luck!
