Week 17 SNF: Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Steelers favored by 3.5.

Discuss.

 

The winner will host the final wild card team, most likely chargers or ravens.

The loser will visit indy.

 

Should be an easy win for the Steelers...should be...

Depends on what Steelers Defense shows up. Hopefully Ike Taylor is not healthy enough to play...same for Polamalu...

 

What makes you say it should be an easy win? Both teams have been up and down from week to week. I could see either team winning.

 

Steelers offense is far and away better than the Bengals offense. Their offense really hasn't been "up and down" week-to-week. Their offense has been solid. The Bengals really haven't been that much "up and down." They've been a little above average on both sides of the ball...but Dalton is very over rated. If the Steelers defense shows up and plays "their average," it should be an easy win in Pittsburgh based on the fact that the Steelers offense is the best unit out there.

Hopefully Ike Taylor and Polamalu don't play...lol. If they play, then maybe I could see a Bengals win.

 

Oddsmaker: Betting public backing Steelers in AFC North championship

 

eh, while i know the steelers offense has started clicking and is showing more consistency, when the bengals defense is 'on', it is WAY better than anything the steelers can throw on the field. If the Bengals can put a game plan together to contain the hot steelers offense, they certainly have the talent to win this one.

 

The Bengals defense at their best isn't better than the Steelers offense at their best...no way...and I'm not trying to be a homer either...lol.

I'm not saying that this game is a lock, but the Steelers, if they play the ball they've been playing should take this game...like I said, IMO, it comes down to what the Steelers Defense does and which one decides to show up.

 

If it's Indy in the playoffs then you fuys may want to lose....

 

Win and they play at home against the Ravens. Lose and play on the road in Indianapolis.

 

Bells got like 80 catchs too

 

hopefully for the steelers, Bell will be able to play saturday. it's just a hyperextension so he's got a chance.

 

I think even the slightest hyperextensions takes a couple weeks to heal...no?

 

everything i've heard so far is that they think there may be a chance he can play but it's still up in the air.

 

I would be surprised if he played...don't get me wrong...I hope to hell he does, but I'd be surprised. Josh Harris...next man up! Who?

 

No Bell. No hope. Ravens.

 

Disregard. Wrong thread.

 

Haha...silly Rags.
