Steelers favored v. Bengals

At the Steelyard we are somewhat surprised that the Steelers are 2.5 point favorites versus the Bengals. Sure, Cincinnati has a handful of key injuries, but until Ben Roethlisberger demonstrates that he's healthy enough to keep up with Carson Palmer's production, it seems unlikely that Pittsburgh will be able to keep pace with the Bengals' high-powered offense. Plus, in recent years the visiting team has won most of the games in this series.
