Steelers/Bengals should be good. Of course I'm rooting for the Steelers.

Steelers/Bengals has to be the choice. You have the division rivalry, and a win or loss by either team effects a ton of other teams. If the Steelers lose the Jets and Chiefs are greatly helped out in giving them a nice cushion heading into the final weeks of the season. If the Bengals lose then the chances of them getting a Bye week greatly decrease while the Broncos and Patriots catch a nice break. I would say just about every playoff team in the AFC will be watching this game or at least cheering pretty hard for one of these teams.

To me it's a toss up between Vikings @ Cardinals and Steelers @ Bengals. I voted for Vikes @ Cards though.

Don't worry, Carolina will be 2-0 against Atlanta.

.....whoever plays the Pats the next 4-weeks should be must-see/TV,.......if you're a Pats fan you'll be ''cringing'' at every pass, B.B.'s stupid pet-tricks,patchwork/O-Line,injuries, dropped-passes, Gronk-reports from Buffalo,...etc.,...!

....steelers/bengals will be like a baseball-score = 9-6/steelers.

Steelers and Bengals

I went with the Steeler/Bengals. I would have went Vikes/Cards if the Vikes defense weren't all injured right now.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Steelers vs Bengals 100 percent... Bengals are fighting to keep home field and Pitt is fighting to get in.. I expect a war in that one...

 

[Gooch1034]

....steelers/bengals will be like a baseball-score = 9-6/steelers.

I think it will be the opposite. Last time they played was more like a Steelers/Ravens game but I am thinking Ben and Dalton and going to throw for 600+ yds combined.

I think the Falcons are going to upset the Panthers


I also thought that I was going to be in position to retire at 55


damn it

Steelers/Bengals... And its not even close. So many postseason implications on the line. Its going to be an awesome game to watch. This rivalry is heating up. If any of you watched the last game it was intense. Lots of scuffles. Burfict took Bell out for the season, and Mitchell was trucking Cincy WR's like he was hoping to get fined.

Both teams are going to be out for blood. You can count on it.

Plus all the haters have been waiting all season to see the Pats go down.

Steelers/Bengals.

However, even if the Bengals lose, they still control getting a bye as they could beat Denver. That, to me, is going to be the game that affects home-field advantage more than this week's game.

To me, this game here is most important for the Steelers. A loss deals a serious blow to their playoff hopes. While the Bengals are all but assured at least a home game in the playoffs.

 

[flyerhawk]

Steelers/Bengals by a mile. Falcons/Panthers and Vikings/Cardinals have a real chance to be laughers.

 

[MISKO]

steelers/bengals .. it will be a game won in the trenches a total blood bath, keep you on the edge of your seat finger nail biting game until the last second tics off of the clock .. hopefully no major injuries for either team ..

The rivalry is not as heated as the Ravens, but the Bengals have swept PIT in the not too distance past and they won on Steeler turf this season. That kind of throws fuel on the flames. AJ Green has been a big thorn, now with Eifert emerging he has 2 premier big targets...this will be a tough game for PIT...but I'm starting to see a shift in the trenches in this matchup...favoring PIT DL...the Steeler front 7 needs to play well, make Dalton move off his #1 read.

We shall see...I haven't looked at any injury reports to note who is playing yet, but if Dunlap is blocked...I like the Steelers chances, if he's not, I don't...so Gilbert vs Dunlap will be key.

TN @ NYJ is big to see how Bowles Jets play under the pressure of the playoff run, but I expect them to beat the rookie QB at home...SD @ KC...you never can tell with Rivers...just don't get two scores down in the 2nd half against KC

Yeah I am torn on who to pick for the Steelers/Bengals game. Home game for the Bengals but not sure any team is playing better than the Steelers. I'm leaning Steelers as I think offensively they are just clicking and the Bengals defense just not sure I completely trust them right now. The last great offense they played was the Cardinals and well they got torn apart.
