NFL Week 7 Picks: Pittsburgh at Cincinnati

It is starting to look that way, and now the Bengals have been slapped with a 10-point underdog tag as they host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

There are numerous reasons for the disaster in Cincinnati, but the main one is the offense. The Bengals are ranked 32nd in total offense, 31st in rush offense, 27th in pass offense, 30th in scoring, and two of their nine touchdowns have been scored by the defense. It certainly does not help that Carson Palmer has been ruled out of Sunday's game, giving Ryan Fitzpatrick the start.

The Steelers (4-1, 2-3 ATS) are right where they want to be. The AFC North leaders are returning from a bye week healthier, and after playing in Cincinnati this week they have four of five games at home.

Does this game seem too good to be true for bettors? Place your NFL bets now.
