Alex White is focused on a total for her BEST BET in NFL Week 3.
The game involves the Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) in an AFC North showdown at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET and will be regionally televised on CBS.
The Bengals are off to a 2-0 start, following last week's 20-6 win at the Houston Texans. Cincy covered the spread as a 2.5-point underdog with the Under (45.5) cashing. WR Ja'Marr Chase (7 catches, 75 yards) caught 2 touchdowns, while QB Joe Burrow finished with 207 passing yards, the 2 scoring passes and no interceptions. The Bengals are 2-0 against the spread (ATS) with a 1-1 Over/Under (O/U) showing.
Pittsburgh is coming off a 20-3 loss at the New England
Patriots last Sunday. QB Aaron Rodgers was sacked 4 times during a 187-yard passing effort with no TDs and a pick. Pittsburgh is 1-1 ATS with an 0-2 O/U record.
The division rivals split their 2 games last season with the home team winning and covering. Cincinnati won in Week 7 as a 5.5-point underdog in a 33-31 victory -- the Over (44.5) easily hit. QB Joe Flacco started in place of an injured Burrow and threw for 342 yards with 3 TDs and no interceptions.
Pittsburgh avenged that loss with a 34-12 rout in Week 11, covering as a 5.5-point favorite with the Under (47.5) sneaking in. Rodgers (116 passing yards, 1 TD, 0 INT) injured his wrist and sat out the second half, while backup QB Mason Rudolph completed 12 of 16 passes for 127 yards and a score in the final 30 minutes. S Kyle Dugger, who now plays for the Bengals, scored a 73-yard interception return for the Steelers late in the third quarter for a 20-9 lead.
As of Saturday at 6:06 p.m. ET, BetMGM Sportsbook lists the O/U as 42.5 (O: -110 | U: -108) for Sunday's matchup.
- Moneyline (ML): Bengals -185 (bet $185 to win $100) | Steelers +15 (bet $100 to win $150)
- ATS: Bengals -3.5 (-105) | Steelers +3.5 (-112)
