[From Sports.bodoglife.com]- Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Football Predictions: The Bengals (1-8) are coming off a home tie last week with Philadelphia 13-13. Cincinnati’s Shayne Graham missed a 47-yard field goal with 7 seconds left in overtime, falling to the ground as the ball sailed a few inches wide to the right.
WR Antonio Chatman injured his neck when he was tackled after a reception in the second quarter. He was taken off the field on a backboard as a precaution. Cincy’s D has been playing well as of late, don’t discount them. It’s their lack of offensive momentum that kills us. The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at Bookmaker.com currently list Pittsburgh Steelers -10.5 favorites to Cincinnati Bengals heading into this matchup.
The Steelers (7-3) are coming off a win last week over San Diego 11-10. QB Ben Roethlisberger was 31/41 for 308 yards. The Steelers will have a tougher test than it may look.
The Bengals have definitely played better lately, and we all know they play well in the Steel City. Pittsburgh opens Week 12 with a one-game advantage on its only meaningful competition, the 6-4 Baltimore Ravens, in the AFC North. Mike Tomlin’s squad currently sits in a tie with the similarly 7-3 Jets for the No. 2 seed in the AFC, behind only the 10-0 Titans.

“It was time for me to do it,” Roethlisberger said. “I don’t like to say it’s time for us to do it because some of these guys have been doing it all year. It was time for me to step up and make some plays.”
NFL Football Predictions: The Steelers have dropped three of five overall against Cincinnati at Heinz Field. The Steelers are that team that can beat anyone and lose to anyone. They don’t know how to dominate games like they did in the opening one against the Texans. Notice how they squeaked through just about every win they had this year. They don’t play well at Heinz field either. Anyone notice that? Ben tries to do too much, particularly when he plays in Pittsburgh, why I don’t know for sure. I think 10 is too much … these 2 teams have a lot of history of close games. Bengals are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 games in Week 12. Steelers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games.
