    Pit/Cin

    So who's playing Cin here. and Why? The only negative I can see playing Pit is it seems too obvious.

    Pit Coaching>>>>Cin. Even if Cin gets a lead, Marvin Lewis has been nothing but a coach who coaches NOT TO LOSE. He can't prepare well for games, and has proven it time over time.

    Pit Offense vs Cin Defense. Draw?

    Ben >>>> McCaron or Ben >> Red Head

    Recent Play Pit > Cin

    If anything I'll play the money line

    Cincy is tempting at +3. Waiting to see if it keeps rising. +3.5 is an auto play.

    You sure about that?

    Over the last three, Cincinnati is 2-1 with two convincing wins and a very respectable overtime loss at Denver.

    During that same timespan, Pittsburgh is 2-1. The loss was an absolutely pathetic loss in a must win spot as double digit favorites against a Ryan Mallett led Ravens team who was composed almost exclusively of second and third string players. The wins were a very unconvincing win against the even more abysmal Cleveland Browns who were starting Austin Davis, and a miracle win at home over Denver in a game they had no business winning.

    Cincinnati couldn't win a playoff game with Andy Dalton the last 3 years. No way they can win one without him in there.

    I'm assuming recent Pitt greater than Cincy is talking about their recent matchup in Cincy where Pitt won. Cincy did have their backup in this game with zero NFL experience and he made a couple mistakes which helped Pitt.

    Bengals or pass. No DeAngelo and shaky defense for Steelers, and they did not look good last two games. Big Ben and Antonio are great, but Cincy can defend one-dimensional passing offense.

    Oh you mean the game where the Bengals lost their quarterback in the first quarter and had to go with a zero experience backup with no preparation? Yeah that sounds like a pretty solid indicator of who's going to win this football game.

    I really hope Pittsburgh keeps getting all the hype. They haven't looked good since they played the Colts in week 13. I don't see how the Bengals won't shred the terrible pitt defense and as long as they get some pressure on big Ben he will hand them the game with interceptions.

    Taking Bengals +3

    Key to this game will be 3rd down conversions and cincy defense. No way Lewis lets this fall in mccarons hands. Pitt was lethal on 3rd down the last time in cincy

    I took the Bengals +3 at -105. I don't think Dalton to AJ is such a huge downgrade, especially in a playoff game.

    How many games has Head Coach Marvin Lewis won? ZERO. You people try to sell the same Bull S**t every year. It doesn't cut it.

    I liked what I saw against AJ. If he was going against Seattle / Arizona or any other defense I would make him a liability. Fact is decent to mediocre QBs against bad defenses often look good / great.

    So I think the upside with AJ vs a bad defense is more than the better QB (Ben) vs a really good defense. +3 at home for a team with something to prove vs a team that went 1-1 against Browns and Ravens with everything on the line is just to much for me.
