Steelers vs Bengals: Who the experts are picking in week 12?

The experts have submitted their picks for this upcoming Thanksgiving weekend and many are conflicted on who to pick. It should be a close game based on these experts’ predictions. These picks come from sites like sportingnews.com, nflspinzone.com, and profootballnetwork.com.

Sporting News

This expert has the Steelers winning the game by a score of 28-24. They recognize that this game could easily go in the Bengal’s favor, especially if the visiting club is without their major defensive contributors again. They just don’t think that Cincinnati will be able to sweep the series since they haven’t been able to since 2009.

NFL Spin Zone

NFL Spin Zone made a pick for each game this week, including this AFC North matchup. They have the home squad in this one winning 37-34. This expert compares the two teams and how both have shown great moments in 2021 and some bad times as well.

They believe that the Pittsburgh defense will struggle like last week but they failed to take into consideration the potential addition of major players coming back into the fold.

Pro Football Network

Pro Football Network is last upon the prediction board. They have the Steelers winning this game by a score of 23-20. That is a lower score than many would expect after the black and gold just let up a ton of points.

They believe this game could go either way but ultimately this should be a very close game that comes down to the wire. The Steelers should be the hungrier team as their backs are up against the wall more.
