PREVIEW: Last season the Steelers knocked Dalton out in the 13th game of the regular season forcing him to miss the last 3 games and then knocked the Bengals out of the playoffs a month later. Both teams won their first game last week with Dalton passing for 366 yards and a TD and Big Ben threw for 300 yards and 3 TD’s. The oddsmakers have Pittsburgh a 3 point favorite with the total at 48.5 while 68% of the public think that the Steelers will beat up the Bengals once again according to Covers.com consensus analysis and 53% think the total will go over. This seems like a good situation play for those who like the revenge factor after last season but it doesn’t seem to have had an effect on the line as it’s holding at Pittsburgh -3. Chances are that at least one if not both of these teams will make the playoffs again this season.
