The Cincinnati Bengals will try to get the monkey off their back when they travel to Heinz Field tonight for a match-up with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both teams sit at 0-3 and the Bengals have lost 8 straight to the Steelers, but if they are going to buck the trend, tonight will be it. Pittsburgh has lost Ben Roethlisberger for the season and Mason Rudolph is not the solution. The Steelers are averaging only 16.3 points per game and their featured Running Back, James Conner, has a total of just 92 yards overall and is averaging only 2.9 yards per carry. The Bengals play caller, Andy Dalton, is ranked second in the league in passing yards, with a total of 979, and should have a big night tonight. The Steelers pass defense ranks 30th in the League and they are allowing an average of 302.7 yards per game. The Bengals are currently being spotted 3.5 points in this one. Cincinnati has been covering on the road, with a record of 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games, and they are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 against the AFC.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CINCINNATI BENGALS +3.5
