Nothing seemed to go right for the Steelers as they fell to 1-1 after an embarrassing loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2. Aaron Rodgers and the offense struggled to move the ball downfield against a stout Patriots defense. Rodgers and the offense have a new challenge ahead this week as they are back home to open up AFC North play against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bengals are off to a red-hot 2-0 start to their season with wins over Tampa Bay and Houston. FanDuel Sportsbook is thinking we will see more dominance from Cincinnati in Week 3, as they favor the Bengals by -3.5 points on the road. You can get the Steelers to win outright at +144 here. Will we see some offensive explosives from these teams in Week 3? The total for the game is currently set at 42.5.

These teams split their games last season, with Cincinnati picking up a 33-31 victory on October 16th, before Pittsburgh responded with a resounding 34-12 victory later in the season on November 16th.
Getting back on track with a win at home over a division opponent would restore faith in a lot of Steelers fans. A win over the Bengals would also give the Steelers a major advantage in the standings with a 2-1 overall record.
