The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering a must-win game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Here are the odds and predictions for this Week 12 AFC North matchup.
The Steelers suffered some major blows to their starting lineup in Week 11 against the Chargers as players like T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Kevin Dotson, and Joe Haden were not able to suit up. Pittsburgh will be hoping for better luck this time around.
After already getting embarrassed by the Cincinnati Bengals with a double-digit loss in Week 3, Mike Tomlin’s team is going to try to bounce back and win his first game since the Steelers narrowly defeated the Bears on November 8th.
This is a heated divisional matchup with playoff implications on the line, and getting swept by the Bengals could be disastrous for when it comes to potential seeding in the AFC playoff picture this year. With some players expected to return to the field this week, here are the odds and predictions for this Week 12 AFC North matchup:

Steelers vs Bengals Prediction Week 12
This game is even bigger for both of these teams the second time around. After a hot start to the season, the Bengals have lost two of their last three games — including a loss to the New York Jets and a 16-41 blowout by the Browns. However, they were able to bounce back nicely with an impressive game against the Raiders this past week.
Meanwhile, the Steelers dropped to 5-4-1 on the season, but Ben Roethlisberger and the offense finally gave us a reason for optimism after putting up 37 points on the road. With some defense starters returning, they could be poised to make a late-season push.
Despite the betting line, I have the Steelers cleaning up their act, as they certainly know what’s at stake here. With a stronger defensive performance in Week 12, I have Pittsburgh winning this road contest 24-21.
