Their pass defense ranks near the bottom of the league allowing 275.7 yards per game and 31 TDs through the air while their pass rush ranks well below average with 33 sacks. Their run defense ranks near the bottom of the league allowing 142.6 yards per game and 17 TDs on the ground.

Their only real options are Joe Mixon and Tyler Boyd but the Steelers have an excellent run defense and the Bengals don\u2019t have consistent play at the quarterback position. The Bengals offensive line is also worrisome against a great Steelers pass rush, but Jeff Driskel and Tyler Boyd should move the ball and put up enough points to keep this within 2 scores.<\/p>\n<p>The Bengals defense has really gotten a bad wrap lately but they still have playmakers in the backend. William Jackson is reputable for shutting down Antonio Brown and Jessie Bates in centerfield should take away the threat of the deep ball. The Steelers run game has not really been a threat without James Conner and that is one of the best ways to take advantage of the Cincy defense. A Steelers win will never be in doubt, but the Bengals should do enough to keep this within 2 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Pick:<\/strong> Bengals (+14.5)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two AFC East teams go head to head in the Bengals and Steelers as the Steelers attempt to win to stay in the AFC playoff picture.
