10* EARLY AFC NORTH TOTAL OF MONTH: 104-81 NFL!
(NFL) Steelers (PIT) vs. Bengals (CIN),
Total: 47.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* AFC NORTH TOM on the UNDER Steelers/Bengals.

A really great situational play here on a number of different levels.

Pittsburgh just had its five-game win streak snapped in last weeks 24-19 loss at Cleveland. Now its a second straight divisional road game and everything points to a similar final combined score here as well in my opinion.

The Bengals are 4-7 and you have to wonder how much fight is left in them with six difficult games remaining and off back-to-back losses. Despite last week's 34-27 loss at the Chargers going OVER the number, note that Cincinnati has still seen the total dip below the number in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row.

Pittsburgh will look to grind out the win here and I'm expecting this more methodical overall pace to help in producing a lower-scoring outcome once the final whistle sounds.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
