Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers Odds - Bengals vs Steelers Betting

The Pittsburgh Steelers (7-3) will try and avoiding having a letdown as they host the Cincinnati Bengals (1-8-1) on Thursday night at 8:15pm EST on the NFL Network. The Steelers blew away the Bengals 38-10 earlier this season as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw two touchdown passes. Big Ben threw for 308 yards last week in the Steelers 11-10 win against San Diego. Odds makers have the Steelers -11 point favorites at home in NFL odds against the Bengals with a total of 34.5.

"It was time for me to do it," Roethlisberger said. "I don't like to say it's time for us to do it because some of these guys have been doing it all year. It was time for me to step up and make some plays." He may not have it as easy as it appears on Thursday. The Steelers have lost two of their last three home games against the Bengals. The Bengals are coming off a 13-13 tie against Philadelphia last week, the first tie in the NFL since 2002. "I don't know if you pat yourself on the back or be mad," Bengals defensive end Frostee Rucker said. "We came out here, played our hearts out and we didn't lose, so we'll just take it at that and strive to do better this Thursday night."

Vegas NFL odds at Caesars sportsbook have the Steelers -10.5 point NFL betting favorites with a total of 34.5 in Week 12 NFL odds. The Bengals have played better of late thanks to quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick who is filling in for the injured Carson Palmer. Fitzpatrick was 29-for-44 for a season-high 261 yards and a TD against the Eagles. He will be facing a defense this week that is ranked #1 in the NFL. "They try to make you uncomfortable back there," Fitzpatrick said, "And with their rush, and how hard they come sometimes, it's uncomfortable. You've just got to make decisions and get the ball out."
