A good AFC North match-up will take place this Sunday afternoon when the defending NFL Super Bowl Champions the Pittsburgh Steelers go on the road to face Carson Palmer and the Cincinnati Bengals. Right now at Bookmaker.com which is “Where the Line Originates” the road team Pittsburgh Steelers are a three and one half-3.5) betting favorite with the over / under game total at thirty-seven and one half(37.5) points scored combined by both teams.
Now I know most handicappers will be on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon as they will be looking for their ninth straight win at Cincinnati when they face the Bengals in their 2009 AFC North Division opener, however I will be on the home team in this spot plus the points.
Sometimes when betting NFL football against the spread you need to go with your gut feeling. I have seen Cincinnati play twice this year and they look like a pretty good team. Now of course we know the Pittsburgh Steelers are a good team, but they are banged up right now. The Steelers will be without All-Pro safety and team leader on defense Troy Polamalu, who has a knee injury, for the second straight game. Tyrone Carter, who replaced Troy Polamalu in Pittsburgh’s game against the Chicago Bears, is expected to play despite a bruised left thigh. Look for Cincinnati’s offense to be able to move the ball on Sunday scoring enough points to maybe win this game outright and look for me in the winners circle as I will on the Bengals at home plus the points!
