Match preview

AFC North leaders Pittsburgh have lost their last two games after 11 straight victories, but few expect them to have many problems against Cincinnati, who have won just two games all season.

But it is not a foregone conclusion that they eclipse a 14-point handicap after failing to post more than 20 points in each of their last three games.

After this fixture the Steelers close their season with key matches against Indianapolis and Cleveland, so they may not bust a gut to win by a big margin.

The Bengals were already struggling before quarterback and number one draft pick Joe Burrow was injured, and replacement Brandon Allen has found it hard playing behind an injury-hit offence.

Cincinnati have scored a total of just 50 points in five straight defeats and have been prone to turning the ball over.

Pittsburgh have forced more turnovers than any team going into Week 15 and have scored three touchdowns from interceptions this season, so it is worth chancing they force another pick-six.

Key stats

• The points total has gone under the line in five of Pittsburgh's last six games.
• The Steelers have won their last ten matches against Cincinnati.
• The Bengals have won one of their last nine games.
