The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals square off this week in a huge Week 10, AFC North showdown. Both teams are 6-2 and the winner will take control of the division down the stretch. Here are our four bold predictions for this week's game.
Jaylen Warren dominates
The Bengals are No. 21 in the NFL in run defense and no running back is playing better football than Jaylen Warren. We predict Warren gets his third straight 100-yard rushing game and his fifth of the season. Warren finishes with 175 yards of offense and a touchdown.
The pass rush doesn't carry the defense
The Bengals have done a good job keeping Joe Burrow upright and this week they keep that up. Pittsburgh sacked Burrow once in the first matchup and we predict it's more of the same as the pass rush struggles to get anything done. Two sacks
this week for the Steelers defense.
DK Metcalf gets it together
We are getting a little extra bold here because this season has been a nightmare for DK Metcalf. But this week, we are predicting 80+ receiving yards and a long receiving touchdown for Metcalf to quiet the critics for the week.
Double-digit win for the Steelers
It would be easy to say the bye week cost the Steelers their momentum but head coach Mike McCarthy is 12-5 coming out of the bye and that continues this week with Pittsburgh getting a double-digit win over the Bengals thanks to a smothering defense and dominant run game. Steelers 31, Bengals 21
