The Cincinnati Bengals (6-4) are currently one of the frontrunners for an AFC wild card spot, but they need a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4-1) on Sunday to stay there. The two sides split the season series last year, but the Bengals won the first matchup between the two sides this year in Week 3. Pittsburgh hits the road for the second-straight week after losing a tough one in Los Angeles last Sunday, while the Bengals are looking to win their second consecutive game since their Week 10 bye.

Week 12 NFL picks for Bengals vs. Steelers
Before entering any Steelers vs. Bengals picks, you'll want to see the NFL predictions from the advanced computer model at SportsLine. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up almost $7,300 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception six-plus years ago. The model enters Week 12 of the 2021 season on an incredible 130-91 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past five years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
For Bengals vs. Steelers, the model is backing the Steelers to cover the 3.5-point spread as they try to take a game back from their division rival. Pittsburgh has been a road underdog four times this season and has covered the spread in three of those games. In both games that the Bengals have been favored at home, they've failed to cover and are 1-1 outright.
Three weeks ago, Cleveland's Nick Chubb ran up 137 yards and two touchdowns on the Bengals' defense. Much of that came on a single 70 yard run, but for the rest of the game, Chubb still averaged 5.15 yards per carry. The Steelers' offensive line has had its struggles this season and tight end Eric Ebron (knee) has been ruled out. However, running back Najee Harris still has the seventh-most rushing yards in the NFL, even with a 3.6 yards per carry average.
Each of Pittsburgh's last five games have been decided by five points or fewer, and even though Harris hasn't been the most efficient runner this season, he's been productive enough to keep the Steelers on track. The SportsLine model predicts that he will finish with 98 scrimmage yards with a good chance to score, and the Steelers keep things within a field goal to cover in well over 50 percent of simulations.
