NFL Week 12: Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

I'm not crazy about these Thursday night games for several reasons. First, I don't have the NFL Network, the games are usually lousy matchups and then I have to put up a single game without having taken much times to go over all the games. And tonight is a dud with the lowly Bengals at the Steelers.

We were 8-8 in Week 11 and stand at 77-80-3 for the season. We'll have the rest of Week 12 later in the week.

STEELERS -10.5 Bengals: Pittsburgh has had a brutal stretch of home games the past month, but get a reprieve with the visiting Bengals, now at 1-8-1 and with no Ocho Stinko. It'll be 30 degrees and snowing and the last place Cincinnati wants to is in Pittsburgh. Steelers defense shuts down this low rent outfit easy. Steelers 31-3.
