The Cincinnati Bengals will be out for revenge when they take on AFC North rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season.
Both teams sit at the top of the division with 6-2 records, but Pittsburgh have the upper hand in the head-to-head battle, having beaten the Bengals 27-24 earlier this season.
Pittsburgh have now won back-to-back meetings against their rivals, scoring 30 points in both games, but the second fixture between the pair will be no easy challenge.
Both the Steelers and Bengals have won four in a row, having gone to overtime in one of their fixtures.
Home advantage will be on Cincinnati's side this weekend and that might make all the difference in another AFC North grudge match.
Steelers vs. Bengals betting tips and predictions
Cincinnati Bengals -3.5 (-106)
As is often the case with the Bengals, they needed a few weeks to warm up. Cincinnati have certainly found their stride on offense and they are now scoring 30.0 points per game, which is the second-best return in the NFL behind the Buffalo Bills.
Quarterback Joe Burrow is being talked about as the MVP already, but the Bengals have to maintain their recent lofty standards and not switch off.
A meeting at home against a divisional rival should bring the best out of them, and that first clash is bound to be on their mind.
A three-point victory for Pittsburgh in the first encounter suggests this could go either way, but the Steelers have not done much to impress on the road.
Mike McCarthy's team are 2-2 on the road, and while they have won back-to-back matches away from home, they have not won either game by more than a touchdown.
They lost by three points to the Cleveland Browns in October and were beaten 20-3 by the New England Patriots at the start of the campaign.
Cincinnati's recent performances on offense have made the league take notice and it is hard to back against them in front of their own supporters.
Joe Burrow to throw three passing touchdowns (+155)
As we have already discussed, Burrow is playing at his best, and his confidence is sky-high.
He has completed 74% of his 296 passes and thrown for 2,386 yards. Burrow has completed 23 touchdown passes and only six interceptions and three of those touchdowns came in the first meeting against Pittsburgh.
He has thrown three touchdowns in four consecutive games, and in five of his last six outings and with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both fit and firing, he can improve his record at Pittsburgh's expense.
Chase Brown Over 75 Rush and Receiving Yards (-115)
Pittsburgh have played zone defense throughout the campaign and they struggle to contain running backs through the air as a result.
That should only benefit Bengals ace Chase Brown, who will look to lead by example for the hosts.
He has scored only one touchdown all season, but has been busy in recent weeks as a dual-threat back.
Brown has 397 rushing yards from 103 carries, but he has 207 receiving yards from 39 receptions, averaging 5.3 yards per reception.
The 26-year-old has run for 55 yards or more in five games this season, and considering Pittsburgh's weaknesses through the air in the backfield, he can punish them accordingly this week.
