The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team who has been anything but consistent during the 2019 regular season. After a horrible start to the season, they actually rebounded to reach the .500 plateau heading into Week 12.
At 5-5, the Steelers’ playoff hopes are still very much alive, but a loss to the 0-10 Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday would be absolutely devastating to their chances at making the postseason. The game will be played at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, OH, and it is time to take a look at who the experts think will win this game.
If you are looking for pro-Steelers websites, there are plenty to choose from heading into Week 12! The experts at ESPN and CBS Sports all view this as a slam dunk game for the visiting team to move their record to 6-5 on the season.

The Steelers are coming off a bad loss to the Browns last week, while the Bengals have just lost all season long. The Bengals competed against the Raiders on the road, which is a good sign. But I think the Steelers defense will be too much for Ryan Finley in this one.
