Pre-season favorites to win the AFC North??? I questioned it then and I thought to myself.... the bungles? Really? The experts were picking the bungles to do something they haven't done in twenty years and that is have back to back winning seasons.
Yeah, not so much.
The Steelers
were picked third and expected to miss the playoffs.Yeah, not so much.
What does all that have to do with Sunday's game?
Yeah, not so much.
As much as I do love reveling in Cincinnati's ineptitude, I am still concerned that this is a trap game for Pittsburgh
. We just came off a physical, emotional win and it would be easy to look past Cinci and towards the Jets. That said it looks like the Bengals have mailed it in, they believed their own press clippings and thought, "we are an elite team". Man, it's gotta hurt to fall from a ten story building like that, ouchie.Cedric Benson
is going to get stuffed all day and Carson Palmer
will make a few plays and few more mistakes. Mendenhall 
should get going early and have a solid twenty carry day. I'm hoping Ben can get a day off and we cruise, but I don't think it's going to be a blowout.Steelers should win a fairly low scoring game, my pick 24 -14.
