NFL Free Pick Thursday – Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers<\/h2>\n

The Bengals travel to Pittsburgh to take on their hated rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers. For the Bengals things haven\u2019t been going very well this season. They are coming off of a very good tie versus the Philadelphia Eagles, but the thing is that the Bengals caused the Eagles to commit four turnovers but they couldn\u2019t capitalize on any of them. They ended up tying the Eagles at 13 to 13. <\/p>\n

For sportsbook betting fans, the Bengals have been anathema to making any online profits. Their record straight-up this season is 1 and 8. Their record against the online betting spread is somewhat better at 4 and 6. Once Carson Palmer went down with an injury, online football betting fans knew that the Bengals were going to have a tough time of it.<\/p>\n

The Steelers have done everything possible this season to win games. It\u2019s mostly worked as their 7 and 3 record indicates. But they\u2019re record against the spread tells a different story. At 4 and 6 against the online betting spread, the same as the Bengals, the Steelers have become a difficult team for online football betting fans to back. They\u2019re not exactly sure what sort of team they want to be.<\/p>\n

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kick-off<\/strong>: 11\/20\/2008 8:15 pm est.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati Bengals\t + 10 \u00bd – 110\t + 450\t O 35 \u00bd – 110
\nPittsburgh Steelers\t – 10 \u00bd – 110\t – 600\t U 35 \u00bd – 110<\/p>\n

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Cincinnati Bengals are 1 and 4 against the spread in their last 5 games against an opponent from the AFC North Division.<\/p>\n

The Under is 6 and 1 in the Cincinnati Bengals last 7 games versus a rival from the AFC North Division.
\nThe Pittsburgh Steelers are 2 and 6 against the spread in their last 8 games on grass.
\nThe Under is 8 and 2 in the Pittsburgh Steelers\u2019 last 10 games versus an AFC opponent.<\/p>\n

This looks like an obvious one, but before I dump all of my online betting dollars on the BetUS Under, I want to take a closer look at the Bengals.<\/p>\n

The Steelers could very well blow the Bengals out in this game. That would mean that this game could go over or under depending on how many points the Bengals score.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the thing, the Bengals actually have a better defense this season than offense. It sounds crazy but the Bengals have an easier time stopping offenses than scoring. They did a great job against the Philadelphia Eagles last week and I have no doubt that the Eagles are a better offensive team than the Steelers.<\/p>\n

Thursday Night Football NFL Prediction:<\/h3>\n

Pittsburgh just finds ways to play in close games. The online betting spread is fairly high at 10 \u00bd. I\u2019m going with the Bengals in this game. I believe they can keep this game within ten points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
