Game of the Month

Pittsburgh's defense looked shaky in the first two games of the season, but the Steelers have completely turned it around, allowing only 14.7 points per game since, including a 23-9 win over Cleveland on Sunday. The Browns were held to 248 total yards of offense, including just 65 on the ground. The Steelers have won and covered three straight, and Aaron Rodgers passed for 235 yards and two TDs against the Browns. Pittsburgh has covered five Week 7 games in a row, and it is 6-1 ATS in its past seven games after yielding fewer than 90 yards rushing in its previous game. The Steelers have won 15 of their 20 meetings with Cincinnati, including 10 of 12 on the road. The Bengals have lost four in a row, although Joe Flacco threw two TD passes with no turnovers in his debut with the team. It won't matter much if they can't stop the opposition, as the Bengals have allowed 33.4 points in their past five games. They were outgained 409-268 while losing 27-18 to Green Bay. Cincinnati will be without tight end Mike Gesicki, who was placed on injured reserve. He has eight receptions for 61 yards this season. Take the Steelers on the moneyline.
