NFL Week 16

Early Slate 1pm ET

Heinz Field

The Jungle on the Ohio BENGALS @ the Steel Curtain vs STEELERS an AFC North Production

The Bengals know what's at Stake and Bengal's QB Andy Dalton aka the Strawberry Rifle is 0-3 vs the Steelers in Three Starts and no better time than now to reverse that misfortune.

The Bengals have been playing some of the Best Football in the NFL in the Last Month and the Offense and Defense has come Full Circle. Expect Bengals RB Benjarvis Green-Ellis (263 Atts 1,080 Yards 6 TDs) to get Carries in this one. The Bengals have run the Ball well and the Steelers gave up too many Last Week to Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray as he had a Few Splash Plays in the Game. WR AJ Green will also get every ones Attention but TE Gresham and WR Hawkins will also get the Steelers' D Attention as well. Can the Steelers stop Ellis and confuse Dalton like they have in the Past? The Steelers also need to get Pressure as they have not in their Last Few Games.

The Steelers must run the Ball effectively vs a pretty Stout Bengals Run D led by DT Geno Atkins aka the Atkins Diet and Backer Mualuaga and Rookie Monster Vontaze Burfict. Both Backers have combined for over 200 Tackles and over 100 solo Tackles. The Running Game was non-existent Last Week vs the Cowboys and look for the Steelers to at least try.

Big Ben has always torched the Bengals and Sunday should be no different. Last Week at the End of the Game the Cowboys Pressure got to Big Ben. Well the Bengals are #1 on Sunday for Teams Sacks led by the aforementioned Atkins and DEs Michael Johnson (Ramblin' Wreck GA Tech) and Carlos Dunlap (from Swamp Thing...Gators). Can the Steelers give Big Ben enough Time to handle the Bengals Secondary?

The Steelers D will not have I Like Ike Taylor on that Island but ill have both Keenan Lewis and Cortez Allen. All the Attention will be on how they handle AJ Green. The Cowboys last week ripped the Steelers for some 341 Passing Yards and largely due to the Steelers not getting to Cowboys QB Romo. If the Steelers can get to Dalton lookout as they must get a Pass Rush going ASAP.

With what;s at Stake this should be a real Good one. Outside of the 49ers @ 12th Man Space Needle on Sunday Night Football the Bengal @ Steelers should be a Classic. The Loser will get a Bass Pro Shop Gift Set for the Off Season.

Winner: STEELERS 27-13 as the Bengals and Dalton struggle again vs the Steelers D...
