Yeah....since 1992 my alma mater has been around 8-2 every year while OSU has whipped up on most non-conference and non-Michigan Big Ten teams while the Steelers have been very good in many of those years....twice Pittsburgh had bye weeks to help avoid the rare 3 loss weekend.

Bengals 24
Steelers 20

I think this is a pretty easy upset pick. Steelers are banged up coming off a heartbreaking loss. They're looking ahead to the bye next week.

Bengals have a lot of positive momentum going. Steelers I think will regroup and finish strong but I don't see them bouncing back today. It would really surprise me.

I see this game playing out in a few ways.... Bengals come out to hyped up & start extremely flat & can't get themselves out of a hole... The game being a very tight 13-10 defensive battle or one team just flat out has control over the the entire game... A win for Cincy would go a long way in determining if this team is playoff worthy or not... Who Dey

No way they are looking to the bye week before this game too much....Tomblin deserves more credit than that.


This game will go a long way in the number of "Who Deys" you"ll hear till the New Year.

A huge game against a division rival, and you think they are looking ahead to the bye week. Are you rocks retarded brother?

We'll see. This is a good test in that regard.

Sounds like Gresham will play... But Joe Reedy is saying he don't think Carlos Dunlap will play, that REALLY hurts..smh

I could actually see this being a game where Ben gets sacked like 8 times and the Steelers look terrible. Bengals win impressively with the crowd all fired up.

I think we're in for it today...I don't say that too often but I feel that way going in.

I don't think this Steelers team loses to two Divisional opponents in a row. I like the Black and Gold in this one.

Good call, rooting for the referee's in this one. They usually do fuck the Steelers over that's for sure. That is a safe bet.

In 2007, the Steelers were 7-2 and they went 3-4 in their last seven and then lost to Jacksonville in the Wild Card. They stumbled down the stretch that year.

In 2008, they were 6-3 same as they are now, and went 6-1 in their last seven, then won three games in the postseason to win the Super Bowl.

In 2009, they were 6-2 and then lost five in a row....they fell to 6-7 before winning their last three games to finish 9-7.

In 2010, they were 6-3 and then went 6-1 in their last seven to finish 12-4...very similar to 2008...except they made the Super Bowl and lost.

Very interesting pattern. We've seen the Steelers under Tomlin take a step forward or significant step back and it's happened right around this time in the season.

Bill Leavy assigned to ref this game. Second time working a Steelers game this year. Also did Seattle and Pittsburgh.

Sounds like the wind could play a major factor in this game... 20-30MPH winds with gusts up to 45MPH

Probably advantage Bengals. Ben has struggled in windy games, for example the Cleveland Thursday night game a couple years ago.

Suisham has been very shaky this season, as well.

LOL at the Steelers looking ahead to the bye week. Nice trying to reverse jinx the Steelers.

Will be a very good game. Interested to see what Gruden has planned to attack the Steelers D. Hopefully the D line can wrap Ben up ans Dalton doesn't get rattled.

Homer pick: 20-17 Bengals

Why Ben is dangerous. Moves around finds Cotchery wide open for 6

I hate Dan Fouts. Still think he's the main reason people think there was no foul on Miami when they played Ohio State in 2003.
