Quote: I will definitely sleep in late and wait for the Bengals/Steelers game at 1:00.

That's the game I'll be watching. It should be a good one. I believe the Steelers will win it,, but it should be close.


Reasoning:

- Bengals have not been very good at all after Bye-Weeks during Marvin Lewis' tenure.

- Bengals always struggle with the Steelers (even in games Cincy has won). PITT swept the Bengals last year.

- It's difficult to get a victory in Heinz Field (unless you're facing Vick and Scobee lol)

- Big Ben's return after injury

- It's almost a "must win" for the Steelers to stay in the AFCN race. If Pitt loses, they'll essentially be 4 games back with only 8 left to play.


If Pitt loses:

Bengals 7-0

Steelers 4-4


If Pitt wins:

Bengals 6-1

Steelers 5-3


The Steelers really must have this one to stay close. On the other hand, the Bengals can basically clamp the lid on the AFCN race with a win.


Historically, the Bengals fold when they have a great chance like this. We'll see.


Should be a good one.
