00:00This is a massive game for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:05You saw it, Dubsy.

00:06The Pittsburgh Steelers waste the game on a Thursday night in cold temperatures, snowy

00:10temperatures in Cleveland.

00:12Never should have lost that game, but they did.

00:14Opened the door for the Baltimore Ravens, who kicked through it with a victory over

00:18the Chargers.

00:19So now the Steelers, who can't afford to lose another game and lose their grip on the AFC

00:23North, they take on the Bengals.

00:26Awful bye week with a loss by the Bengals will end their season.

00:29It doesn't surprise me.

00:31The Fandle Sportsbook here in New Jersey opened up at two and a half, Dubsy.

00:34It's still sitting at two and a half.

00:35Other outlets even moving to threes here as a favorite, not for the Steelers, but for

00:40the Cincinnati Bengals in a total of 47 and a half.

00:44Pay Corps Stadium, Sunday, one o'clock, 28 degree temperatures in Cincinnati.

00:52Cold weather football, who's getting it done?

00:56I hope the Steelers and Dangerous have thawed out from what we saw going against the Browns

01:02in that snowy conditions.

01:03But I feel like, Donnie, I've said the same thing for the last month here, joining you

01:07on a Wednesday.

01:08This game is a must win for the Cincinnati Bengals, and you cannot go against Joey B.

01:13They're one and four playing in Cincy, so the home record, it has been atrocious.

01:17But you look at the last couple of weeks, and they've gone against some really good

01:21football teams.

01:22The Ravens, the Chargers, they're putting up plenty of points.

01:24Joey B's had, I believe, 12 touchdowns, 12 passing touchdowns in the last three weeks.

01:30So he is really doing everything he can to get the Bengals moving in the right direction

01:34to keep their playoff hopes alive.

01:37And I think there's levels to this thing.

01:38You know, I know the weather's obviously going to be a tough assignment for both teams, and

01:42they're both well suited.

01:43They've had a lot of practice playing under these conditions.

01:46But I'm just a little cautious that the Steelers are going to struggle to go north of, you

01:51know, 17 points.

01:52I really don't think they've got three touchdowns in them.

01:55If you look at the Bengals, you know, Tomlin's going to send everything at them, including

01:58the kitchen sink.

01:59But I just think the Bengals in that offense is not going to be, you know, enough to slow

02:05down.

02:06I think they could put up plenty of points and cover that number at two and a half to

02:09cover a field goal, 46 and a half.

02:11So the oddsmakers are telling us that it's going to be, you know, some scoring on show.

02:16But where's it coming from for Pittsburgh?

02:18I know Reiss has looked better at getting it vertical down the field there, but I just

02:22think there's levels to this thing, and the Bengals motivated Joey B, who's been absolutely

02:27in his bag.

02:28I think they shot with a big performance.
