Steelers Line: Home Underdogs to Bengals in Rematch

Despite the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers just beat the Cincinnati Bengals, in Cincinnati, four weeks ago, the Steelers are underdogs for the rematch against the Bengals at Acrisure Stadium this Saturday, according to the opening betting line.

The Steelers are 2 1/2-point underdogs to the Bengals, according to opening lines posted on Sunday night. They were 2-point underdogs when they went into Cincinnati and won on Nov. 26.

Since then, though, the Steelers’ season has fallen apart. The team lost starting quarterback Kenny Pickett to a high ankle sprain in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals and lost that game, another against a two-win team the following week against the New England Patriots, and then gave up 30 unanswered points in a playoff-crushing loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Bengals, who played that first game against the Steelers with backup Jake Browning, have won three straight since losing to the Steelers, beating three teams in playoff position to do so.

The Steelers are +110 to win on the money line. The over/under total for the game is 38.5.
