New Look Steelers
It will be a different Steelers that takes the field on September 11th. It will be the first time in almost two decades that retired QB Ben Roethlisberger won’t be leading the way. Yes, all good things do eventually come to an end. The pressure will fall squarely on new QB Mitch Trubisky, who comes over from the Chicago Bears. He will be looking to rebuild an offense that is filled with new pieces.
The Bengals will be looking to make a second consecutive trip to the Super Bowl and stand a great chance of doing just that. There is no doubt that the Bengals will have no problem putting points on the scoreboard behind a juggernaut offense that will be led by the dynamic trio of QB Joe Burrow, WR Ja’Marr Chase, and RB Joe Mixon.

The Bengals are favored on the road against a Steelers team that could struggle to put points on the board. If the Bengals want to make a statement in Week 1, this game could get out of hand very quickly. Lay the points. Score Prediction: Bengals 35 Steelers 13.
