The Steelers are looking for revenge after being swept by the Bengals last season, including a blowout loss in the second meeting. This meeting will pit Joe Burrow against either Mitch Trubisky or perhaps rookie Kenny Pickett. If it’s the latter, it’ll be one of the most intriguing games of the week. According to the Bengals’ social media feed, it’s the first opener game ever against the Steelers.
Cincinnati opens things as six-point favorites over Pittsburgh.
