Steelers @ Bengals

• Ironman92

  

  At Cincy with Green and Sanu vs Ike Taylor...... It will be a long day UNLESS they get a good pass rush on Dalton. At Cincy Dalton will very likely have ample time. Steelers are also back into their rut of losing every turnover margin by 2 or more.
  
  To have a chance.....big day by Bell, pressure on Dalton and miracles by Ike.
  
  Slice it how you want to but a Bengals win and they are already a playoff team (not talking math).....Steelers probably can't make the playoffs if they lose and losses to Tampa and the fucking Ryan boys are the problem.
  
  Bengals 34
  Steelers 16

  After being so happy after that OSU game I'm afraid to even think about how ugly this will be.

  Any Bengals fan goes into this game cautiously. Historically, certain things favor the Bengals. However, more often than not, in a big game with something on the line, the Bengals choke. Go figure.
  
  I think this game will be your typical slam fest. If the Bengals win, they basically put a stranglehold on the division, especially because there is a decent chance both Cleveland and Baltimore will lose. If Pittsburgh wins, they move within a half game of the North lead AND get Cincinnati at home again. They would feel very confident being 3-2 in the division and a chance to lock it up with another win over the Bengals.

  I know what you mean. Last night was just too great.
  
  
  But for some reason, I'm somewhat confident. I'm really hoping for an Andy Dalton implosion.

  Won't happen at home and the final game in Pittsburgh might not mean anything for either team

  Cincy can afford to lose more so than the Steelers. If the Steelers lose, that pretty much ends their chances of winning the division and pretty much gives the Bengals a 90% chance of winning the division.

  Disagree. Cincy plays at Cleveland (destroyed them 24-3), vs Denver (best team in AFC + a primetime Bengals game) and at Pittsburgh (who would have just beat Cincy and would be in the playoff hunt). The Bengals are going to be underdogs the final 3 of the season. They can't lose today and not feel tremendously behind the 8-ball given what the other teams (specifically, Baltimore and Pittsburgh) have remaining.
  
  BAL - vs JAX, at HOU, vs CLE
  PIT - at ATL, vs KC, vs CIN
  
  Baltimore and Pittsburgh are favorites in probably 2, maybe 3 of their last 3 games.

  I was factoring I think the Browns lose. A browns loss and a cincy win puts them in the driver's seat as they would be 2 games above everyone, and even if cleveland beat them the following week to get the tie breaker, they still would be 1.5 games behind.

  Well yeah, if they beat Cleveland. However, you saw what happened last time they played. As a Cincy fan, I can't quite count that one in the W column just yet...

  It will be a close game next week. As always things are not as good as they appear and not as bad as they appear.
