Bengals arrive unbeaten for Steelers test in Week 3
Cincinnati is 2–0 and favoured by 3.5 points as Pittsburgh looks to respond to its loss to New England.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are scheduled to host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday in a Week 3 AFC North game, with kick-off listed for 1 p.m. ET. Cincinnati enters at 2–0, while Pittsburgh is 1–1 after losing to New England last week.
CBS Sports lists Cincinnati as a 3.5-point favourite, with the total set at 42.5 points. Those betting figures are time-sensitive and do not determine the result.
The teams have split their 12 meetings since 2020. Each won its home game in last season’s matchups, according to CBS Sports.
The preview points to pressure on both quarterbacks as a key matchup factor. It also notes Cincinnati’s early defensive improvement, while Pittsburgh has averaged 11.5 points across its first two games.
CBS Sports’ model projects a higher-scoring game than the total suggests, with the Over appearing in 51 per cent of its simulations. That is a forecast, not an outcome.
