Pittsburgh Steelers

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

Week 17 Matchup: Cincinnati Bengals (10-4-1) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5)

TV Schedule: Sunday, Dec. 28, 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC

Stadium: Heinz Field

Line: Pittsburgh (-3.5)

Here’s a great Week 17 matchup that should help both teams prepare for the playoffs. Not only will the winner gain some momentum for the postseason, but the winner will also win the division.

The Steelers lucked out by getting this one at home. Then again, they traveled to Cincinnati in Week 14, a game they won by the score of 42-21. Pittsburgh has now won back-to-back-to-back games and looks ready for the playoffs. We will have to see if that is still the case after this battle.

For a team that has only lost four games this year, the Bengals have sure been getting a lot of negative attention. Is Andy Dalton the best quarterback in the league? No need to answer that one. Still, he does just enough to lead his team to victory. You never know, this could be the year that he finally leads his team to a victory in the playoffs. Stay tuned for that one.

Coming off a win against the Denver Broncos, you better believe Cincinnati has the talent to beat anyone in the NFL. Still, I have to go with the home team. Regardless, both teams have played well for a good portion of the season, and both are capable of doing some serious damage in the postseason.

PREDICTION: Bengals 27, Steelers 30
