The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a home loss to a struggling New Orleans Saints team, and now they face the Bengals in Cincinnati. The Bengals have won three in a row, and they find themselves as just a slight favorite at home this Sunday. I like the Bengals to take care of business at home.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Home Cookin' - The Bengals are 13-1-1 straight up in their last 15 home games, and they are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 at Paul Brown Stadium. Pittsburgh has lost two of it's last three on the road, and those losses came at the hands of the Browns and the Jets.
2. Ben Roethlisberger - He injured his hand in last week's loss to New Orleans, and he's listed as probable despite a fractured wrist. Roethlisberger has thrown 21 of his 26 total TD passes at home in Pittsburgh.
3. X-Factor - Rookie RB Jeremy Hill has averaged 4.7 yards per carry (8th in the NFL), and five of his six TDs have come at home.
Selection: This is a play on the Cincinnati Bengals (8*)
