Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Betting Analysis
Jake Browning has come in and won three straight games in place of Joe Burrow. Browning has thrown the football 144 times, and completed 106 passes for 1,248 yards and 7 touchdowns. Ja’Marr Chase is still the top dude for the Bengals, as he leads with nearly 1,200 yards on the season.
Joe Mixon needs just 185 yards on the ground to reach 1,000 on the season, while Chase Brown has come in and given a big lift as the backup running back. While Brown has just 115 yard rushing, he has picked up an additional 115 in the passing game.
Cincinnati Bengals lines have been a little difficult to predict. Even with Joe Burrow early, they struggled. Then losing Burrow, they were picked to struggle and have now won three in a row. Cincinnati will finish the regular season with a game against the Chiefs in Kansas City on New Years Eve, and then at home against the Browns on January 7th.
The Pittsburgh Steelers standings drop has been quite stunning to see. Mike Tomlin’s team sitting at 7-4 and second in the division had them looking like a potential playoff team. Now, they cannot seem to find anything to go their way.
It is likely that Mason Rudolph will get the start under center for the Steelers. The quarterback play has been woeful thus far in 2023. The combination of Kenny Pickett, Mitchell Trubisky and Rudolph have 10 touchdown passes in 14 games. While they have just 9 interceptions, the 10 passes is one of the worst in the league.
The offense in general has been atrocious for Pittsburgh. The Steelers will start Week 16, ranking 28th in all of the NFL in points scored, with 15.9 per game. The Steelers will end the season with back to back road games. Pittsburgh is at the Seattle Seahawks on New Years Eve, and then at the Baltimore Ravens on January 7th.
