Prediction
The Bengals have been playing bad. Especially their drop of form escalated in recent weeks. Moreover, they had a few coaching changes. Furthermore, the increased number of injuries does not help them either.
On the other side, the Steelers had to accept a hard loss against the Saints. It will be hard for them to get back to winning ways after that disappointment. However, the Steelers have been scoring more than 30 in their last 4 home games. That is why I will go with Over 45.5 in this game.
