An AFC North rivalry game will take place in Week 11 of the NFL season in Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Steelers have struggled mightily this season, but they have a chance to take down the defending AFC champion Bengals on Sunday afternoon. In our NFL betting picks for Week 11, we break down Bengals vs Steelers from the Steel City.
Bengals vs Steelers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Acrisure Stadium at 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, November 20, 2022.
Why Bet The Over:
✅ Cincinnati has a top-eight scoring offense in the NFL this season. They have averaged over 25 points per game, and should be able to make up for the lackluster offense that the Steelers offer en route to an over.
✅ Pittsburgh has also not been great defensively this season. They rank in the bottom half in the league in scoring defense, and will have a hard time defending all of the options that the Bengals boast in their offensive huddle.
✅ Last season, the Bengals put up 32 points against the Raiders after their bye week. They should perform well again in a similar situation this year.

Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals enter Week 11 of the season off of their bye week. They faced the Carolina Panthers in their last game and won convincingly, and have a full two weeks to prepare for the rival Steelers. But if the Bengals want to win this contest coming out of the bye, they will need to execute against a Steelers defense that has certainly had its moments this season.
Cincinnati really struggled offensively in the first meeting between these teams at home to start their AFC title defense. But they have made progress since then, with the Steelers struggling ever since. Even without Ja’Marr Chase, the Bengals will be expected to salvage a season split against the Steelers.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers got a nice home win last week, beating the New Orleans Saints 20-10. Encouraging for the Steelers was that their defense stepped up against a Saints team with a ton of weapons. But even more encouraging was that Najee Harris finally got things going on the ground for Pittsburgh.
Harris had 99 rushing yards for the Steelers against the Saints, after failing to break 50 yards on several occasions earlier in the season. If he can perform again in this game, the Steelers could sweep the Bengals vs Steelers series for this season, something that was completely unexpected going into the 2022 campaign.
