Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers Sun. Dec. 4, 2011 1 p.m. EST
The AFC North division is pretty much wrapped up at this point in time with the Baltimore Ravens leading the way after beating the Pittsburgh Steelers twice and taking down the up-and-coming Cincinnati Bengals a few weeks ago. Now that the division title is out of reach for the Bengals and the Steelers (realistically), these two talented football teams will be shooting for a playoff spot in the AFC Conference with the AFC Wild Card.
In Week 13, the Cincinnati Bengals will try and keep their playoff hopes alive with Andy Dalton and company going on the road to face off against the division rival Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. Even though the Steelers have been favored to win almost every time these two teams has faced off recently, the consensus is that the Bengals are a force to be reckoned with this season and could beat any team in the league on any given Sunday.
Obviously, this team led by rookie quarterback Andy Dalton still has a lot of learning to do as they seriously lack experience department, but they did give the Steelers a run for their money in their last meeting (24-17, Week 10). This time around the AFC North division showdown will take place in Pittsburgh which once again gives the edge to Ben Roethlisberger and company.
As of right now, the Pittsburgh Steelers are favored to win this AFC North battle at Heinz Field with a -7 point spread. This spread does seem fair and possible that the Steelers could win and cover, but I believe the Bengals will give Pittsburgh another tough challenge and make this game much closer than anticipated.
