Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals

Burrow is bringing a four-game surge into the division clash

Cincinnati has won four straight, and Joe Burrow accounted for four touchdowns in the latest win over Atlanta; Burrow also praised the offensive line’s protection.

Cincinnati’s top targets can stress coverage in different ways

Ja'Marr Chase had 155 receiving yards and a touchdown against Atlanta, while Tee Higgins scored twice; a recent podcast also leaned toward receiving production for both.

Pittsburgh’s ground game is coming off a strong outing

The Steelers ran for 200 yards against Cleveland, including 143 from Jaylen Warren, who also hit a prior ladder bet; repeating that output could help control the pace on the road.

Cincinnati’s pass-rush depth is a notable factor

Cincinnati could have less edge-rush depth against Aaron Rodgers.

Pittman’s return remains uncertain

Michael Pittman Jr. has resumed running but has no clear timeline for activation from injured reserve.
