Ben Rolfe writes: "Anytime two AFC North teams face this week, huge playoff implications are at stake, and this is no different. The Bengals got a crucial victory in Week 11, while the Steelers suffered a second damaging result for their hopes. The Bengals are the slightly better team, but strange things happen in this division. If the Bengals win, they have a huge tiebreaker over the Steelers after winning earlier in the year. However, the Steelers have not lost to the Bengals twice in one season since 2009."

Matt Johnson writes: "Pittsburgh already dropped one game to the Cincinnati Bengals and that was at Heinz Field. Based on everything we've seen from both of these teams so far in the 2021 season, it's very possible Cincinnati pulls off the season sweep."

Teddy Ricketson writes: "The Steelers need to benefit from not being on a short week and need to get healthy quickly. When these two teams met in Week 3, the Bengals won 24-10 and the Steelers didn’t have Watt in that game. So why the Steelers this week? Their defense is banged up, but better and their offense hadn’t really leaned into letting Najee Harris be the workhorse back that he now is and we have seen how that can change a game for the Steelers. If the Steelers can get healthy and Watt can be a distraction on defense, they should be able to cover."

Leigh Oleszczak writes: "Will the Bengals finally figure out how to win games at home? Will this be the same group we saw kick the Steelers’ butts earlier in the season or will it be the pathetic group we saw get their teeth kicked in by the Browns? Both teams have been inconsistent but the Steelers should come in motivated. Injuries could play a factor for them, though, and with the Bengals being mostly healthy ahead of this one and looking to have their groove back, I’ll go with a 30-24 Cincinnati victory at Paul Brown Stadium."

CBS Sports: Bengals have struggled after wins
Tyler Sullivan writes: "Cincy opens this matchup as a 4.5-point favorite against the Steelers following its road win against the Raiders. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh fell to the Chargers on Sunday night and is looking to stay within the playoff push as it sits just outside the current picture as the No. 8 seed. Big Ben and Co. could be in a position to stay in the race (or at least cover the spread) as the Bengals have not been a solid bet following a straight-up win, going 1-5 ATS in their last six. They are also 1-4 ATS in their last five home games."
