EOG Sports Betting Preview: Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers

The inside track for the AFC North is on the line Sunday afternoon when the Cincinnati Bengals (6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS) travel to Heinz Field to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2 SU, 3-5 ATS) in an NFL betting showdown for division supremacy. Cincinnati moved to 4-0 in division last week after defeating the Baltimore Ravens 17-7, their second football wagering victory over the Ravens this season. As for Pittsburgh, their dominating 28-10 sports wagering win over Denver on Monday night put them in position to take the division lead.

RB Cedric Benson looks to be a shoe-in to win NFL Comeback Player of the Year after struggling for four years in the Windy City. Benson is on pace for a 1600 yard season and has been a big part of why the Bengals have turned it around this season. Last week against the Ravens, Benson had his fourth 100 yard game of the season, carrying the ball 34 times for 117 yards and a touchdown for Cincinnati betting fans in their NFL wagering triumph. Star QB Carson Palmer was also extremely efficient for the Bengals and he too is having a fine season. Palmer completed 20 of 33 passes for 224 yards and a touchdown against the heralded Ravens defense. WR Laveranues Coles and WR Chad Ochocinco both had decent games for the Bengals in the win with Coles catching six passes for 72 yards and Ochocinco catching five passes for 66 yards.

After struggling in the first half against the Broncos on Monday night, Pittsburgh came out hitting on all cylinders in the second half and pulled away for an 18 point football betting victory. Dick LeBeau's defense confused QB Kyle Orton for most of the night and forced three picks from the former Bears QB after Orton had thrown just one in his prior seven games combined. The defense also completely shut down the Broncos' running game, holding them to just 27 yards rushing. For the offense, QB Ben Roethlisberger had a solid game, completing 21 of 29 passes for 233 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. Second-year RB Rashard Mendenhall also showed why he has effectively replaced Willie Parker by rushing for 155 yards on 22 carries against the Broncos defense.

NFL gambling odds have the Steelers as a touchdown favorite in this game with an over/under of 41.5 points.
