Bengals vs. Steelers prediction thread

[OneManBand]

49-3 at the half, stadium clears out early.
49-3 by the end of the game simply because Dalton and AJ Green are taken out of the game after a 7 TD performance.

Current ESPN ScoreCenter app has pitt by 3.5 and over/under 43

[Whacked]

Well, since the home team gets 3 points, I guess that aint THAT bad.

Still ****** me off a little bit though

I have a good feeling about this game. Don't know why I feel this way. I trust my gut.

THIS Bengal team doesn't care about history and Andy plays lights out and gets the Steeler monkey off his back.

Our d steps up big time forcing turnovers

Bengals win a tight one

Bengals 24
Steelers 17

[BengalRugby]

Predict the Bengals will win, 23-17.


The Football Outsiders also have the most confidence in the Bengals winning as well.

I don't usually make predictions, but I don't think this one is close. Steelers hang in for a half, but in the end the kids step up.

Bengals 31
Steelers 13

I sure hope I am wrong, but I am thinking

Bengals 13
Steelers 24

The Steelers will not self destruct like Philly did, especially with a playoff berth in the balance. I am thinking that the Bengals will have a tough time moving the ball and putting up points. The Steelers always seem to have the culture and heritage to win the big games whereas the Bengals just aren't there yet. Please Bengals, prove me wrong.

The Bengals D has improved and they have been the much hotter team in the AFC North the 2nd half of this season. All things considered:

Bengals 23
Steelers 10

[TNBENGAL]

You guys are funny.. The bengals continue is blow in big games and they have you guys fooled once again.

Bengals 17

Steelers 37

[ralvarado]

The final score will be 27-24. Don't know who will win.

Who Dey!

[r3stangs]

24 - Steelers
14 - Bengals

We find a way to lose to Pitt and Baltimore too often. Also seems when our backs are against the wall is when we perform the worst.

You guys kill me.
This young team doesn't care what happened before.
The core of this team has been playing together for what? 2-3 yrs? With a playoff appearance last year.
How many times have their backs been against the wall?
All haters su,k. Go post on Pitt boards.

Maybe you missed it, Denny said the Bengals were winning out. So it shall be!

Pitt. F..ck..g *****!

The "experts" on ESPN are giving us no chance, besides Jaws

dont worry that TNBengal guy does nothing but hate on the bengals... So far hes the only person to make it to the Block list... Which means ive have never seen a positive post about anything from him.

[Captain Happy Pants]

Referring to my previous post, it's no surprise the Steelers are favorites.

They win big games, no matter how bad they've been.

We lose big games, no matter how good we've been.

Dalton hasn't looked good recently, and our o line isn't doing well. I'm recanting my prediction of a Bengals win because I will not allow myself to be surprised when they blow it.

Steelers 24
Bengals 17

Here's hoping I'm wrong

[Tigerlilee007]

This game should be ours for the taking. Just hope the Refs don't screw us too bad. You know the Stoolers will as usual be holding.

Bengals get hot heading into the playoffs.

Bengals 28-21 over squealers. Giants beat the Ratbirds.

We take down balt next week and knock off our wild card opponent first week of playoffs.

[applemac2]

I love me some Bengals ,but they blew it against Dallas ,Miami, and Cleveland.

Ben gets them out to the 50. Then on the final play of regulation he gets so caught up in extending the play that he bobs and weaves all the way back to his own endzone where he is brought down for the Safety!
