Bengals (2-0) Favored Over Steelers in Week 3 AFC North Clash

Cincinnati travels to Pittsburgh as 3.5-point favorites as Joe Burrow's Bengals look to stay unbeaten against Aaron Rodgers' struggling Steelers offense.

What to know

  • Cincinnati enters 2-0 with a healthy Joe Burrow and a defense that has jumped from among the league's worst in 2025 to top-ten in points allowed.
  • Pittsburgh's offense under Aaron Rodgers is averaging the NFL's second-fewest points and has yet to complete a pass over 20 air yards this season.
  • Betting markets favor the Bengals by 3.5 points on the road, with total points set at 42.5.
  • Key individual matchups, including Bengals tackles against Steelers edge rushers T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig, are seen as pivotal to the outcome.
