Looks like Ben is back. Although rusty, he does enough, along with the 3 killer B's, to get us a 'W'.

Stillers 20
Bengals 13


Pens won last week - will post more on that later.
 
The Gunner's ol' "hidden vigorish". Meaning the Bungles are due to lose and the Steelers are due to win.

Ben Roethlisberger's Knee 24
Bungles 20
 
Don't like this game at all, the Bengals are playing good football and this game would be a struggle if completely healthy. TE is a problem that the Steeler defense hasn't been able to figure out for the past 10 years, I don't see it happening in one week. The Steelers don't have a corner back capable of matching up with Green and the pass protection has been good for Dalton. Could be another bend but don't break game by the defense (hopefully, the 'don't break' part). Ben, if he plays, doesn't have a good track record returning from injury or suspension and I'm not sure how a 6-8 week injury healed in 4 weeks, but I don't see the offense carrying the team even with Ben.

Steelers: 22
Bengals: 31

We will need to put up big points to beat the Bungles. I can't see our D stopping them but I hope I'm wrong.

Steelers - 37
Bungles - 31
 
Black/Gold - 29
Gals - 20
 
This is a big game for several reasons.

1 ) A divisional foe who has a 2.5 game lead on us. If we lose this game, it's wild card or bust as being behind 3.5 games with nine left to play is very difficult.

2 ) Very important for AFC wild card tie breakers, " record in the conference " as we are already 1-3 in this department.

So who wins? I think the truth of the matter is our defense is not very good unless we are on the plus side of the turnovers. We just can't stop teams often enough on 3rd down. The coverage units are poor, and the pass rush without Tuitt is average. The defense is in the bottom 3rd in terms of yards given up.

Ben is back, but he might be a little rusty. Ginger and his Bengals are on a roll.

Prediction:

Bengals 31
Steelers 24

Steelers Hero: Brown. A top 5 NFL receiver has been near invisible with Vick and Jones @QB

Steelers Goat: Blake and Mitchell.
 
Lose this game and division race is over. We will be playing for the wildcard after that. If Ben starts and can finish this game I think with all his weapons, Bell, AB, Bryant,Miller,Wheaton we will put up 34 points. The defense though will get torched and won't be able to cover Eiffert and Green. Wouldn't Eiffert have been a great addition to this team but no, we took Uncle Jarvis instead. Anyway my prediction is:

Steelers 34
Bengels 31
 
Steelers - 27

Bengals - 17
 
Steelers consistently do the opposite of my prediction:

Steelers 24
Bengals 26
 
Cincinnati 41
Pittsburgh 42

Another game where we win on the last play of the game, a 2pt conversion to antonio brown with no time left on the clock:woot:
 
Ben is not healthy and he will be attacked often . Ben is also not good when coming back from injuries and the Bengals are just a better team
.
Bengals 34
Steelers 20
 
Steelers - 39
Bungles - 23
 
I can't see us beating the Bengals, home or away. Anyone with Eifert on their fantasy team is going to have a good day. Bengals 31 Steelers 21
 
From last week:

Chiefs 23
Stillers 13

47 predictions made. 6 of yinz picked the Chiefs. 41 picked the stillers.

Pens nearly nailed it…picked the Chiefs to win 24 -13. Off by a total of 1 point!

Pens is the week 7 winner.
