Steelers vs Bengals Prediction
Based on Pittsburgh’s extra rest and their offensive success in Week 3 against Cincinnati, my Bengals vs Steelers prediction is the Steelers Spread (+3.5, -108).
I remain skeptical of the Steelers defense, especially in relation to the Bengals offense. Pittsburgh ranks 11th in pass defense DVOA, but it struggled against good offenses.
In Week 3, the Steelers defense recorded a 94.1% pass defense DVOA rating against Cincinnati. It was the worst effort of the season for Patrick Graham’s unit.
The only case for optimism is a Week 9 bye for Pittsburgh. Additionally, Cincinnati returns home to play on Sunday Night Football after a Week 9 trip to Madrid.
Is that enough to quell the concern? Your guess is as good as mine.
Where I’m hopeful with Pittsburgh is their previous offensive success against Cincinnati. Most encouraging from Week 3 is their demonstrated ability to run the football.
Pittsburgh recorded a 22.4% rush offense DVOA grade against the Bengals. They graded higher only in their home games against Indy and Cleveland.
Mike McCarthy’s offense averaged seven yards per play against Cincinnati. Recently, we’ve seen the Bengals defense struggle against inferior opponents.
The unit allowed Tennessee to post its best offensive DVOA output of the entire season. The Bengals defense also struggles to defend opposing tight ends, a staple of Pittsburgh’s offense.
Add in that Cincinnati surrendered an 18.8% rush defense DVOA grade against Tennessee – its worst since the trip to Pittsburgh – and I predict the Steelers stay within the number.
