Bengals vs. Steelers odds: What is the spread? Who are bettors picking? Who is the favorite?

The Cincinnati Bengals visit the rival Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11 after resting during their bye week. Kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, November 20 from Heinz Field. The Bengals are 3.5-point favorites and the point total is set at 40 on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Cincinnati is coming off a 42-21 dismantling of the Carolina Panthers, yet another offensive explosion in a recent stretch that has seen them score 30 or more points in four straight games. Joe Burrow is back to his 2021 self, having thrown nine touchdowns against just one interception in that four-game stretch. He's averaged a whopping 318 passing yards per game in that same time. Coming off two weeks of rest, the offense should once again be in position to do damage Sunday afternoon.

Pittsburgh, who has held three of its last four opponents to 20 or fewer points will have something to say about that. They add reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, T.J. Watt, back to the mix this week as well. He could wreak havoc on Burrow in the Cincinnati backfield. On the offensive side, rookie QB Kenny Pickett continues to go through growing pains: he has thrown just two touchdown passes while tossing five picks and registering a pedestrian passer rating of 73.1. The Steelers will have to put the ball on the ground and grind it out on defense to have a chance on Sunday.
