Steelers Game Sunday: Steelers vs Bengals Odds and Prediction for Week 3 NFL Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. Here are the odds and predictions for this divisional matchup. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals both pulled off upset wins in Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season. However, neither team was as fortunate this past week. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers fell to the Raiders in their home opener, while the Bengals couldn’t get the job done on the road against the Chicago Bears.

Now Pittsburgh and Cincinnati will face each other for the first time this season. These teams split in the regular season in 2020, with the Bengals taking home the victory in their most recent matchup this past December.

Quarterback Joe Burrow returns to the helm after being unavailable in their last matchup due to a torn ACL. Even without him, Cincinnati earned the win late in the season against Pittsburgh.

Steelers vs Bengals Odds Week 3

The Week 3 betting odds on WynnBET have the Steelers as 4.5 point favorites at home to open the week. Pittsburgh’s moneyline is -220 while the Bengals are +175. The over/under point total for this game is set at 44.5.

Steelers vs Bengals Prediction Week 3

Pittsburgh’s offense has been pitiful in their first two games of the 2021 season, and Ben Roethlisberger has been one of the least efficient quarterbacks in the NFL over his last nine games dating back to last season.

Fortunately for Pittsburgh, the Bengals haven’t exactly been stellar on either side of the ball with a sporadic offense and a below-average defense. Mike Tomlin’s team suffered some key injuries this past week – including a groin injury for T.J. Watt – but I think their offense finally starts to mesh in their second road game.

We believe Ben Roethlisberger takes a step forward and has his best game of the 2021 season so far against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3, and we are predicting a 24-20 Steelers home victory this week.
