Week Seven of the NFL season kicks off with a huge AFC North showdown between the table topping 4-1 Pittsburgh Steelers and the 2-4 Cincinnati Bengals. 

After a bright start to the campaign, the Bengals have fallen apart since star QB Joe Burrow suffered a season ending injury durign the Week Two victory over the Jaguars. Backup Jake Browning failed to give the Bengals a spark, and whilst trade aquisition Joe Flacco did enjoy a respectable debut against the Packers, he was unable to prevent Cincinnati falling to a fourth consecutive loss. 

The Steelers have not been at their best so far this season, but have ground out hard fought wins, as well as benefitting from the problems impacting the rest of the division. Veteran QB Aaron Rodgers is playing solidly, whilst the likes of Jalen Ramsey, TJ Watt and Nick Herbig are all enjoying fine seasons in defense.

The jury remains out on whether Pittsburgh are euqipped to make a deep playoff run, but for now things are definitely trending upwards in the Steel City.

Our Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction

This is a seriously tough assignment for a Bengals squad severely struggling without star QB Joe Burrow. 

We did spot a few signs of life in their offensive play last weekend, and new QB Joe Flacco does look to be a significent upgrade over the woeful Jake Browning. 

We don't think the Bengals will have enough to spring an upset, but we do think Flacco will get their offense moving and help Cincinnati put up some points. 

Our prediction for Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers is: Joe Flacco to throw 2+ touchdown passes.

Prediction:

 

Joe Flacco to throw 2+ touchdown passes
