Early Week 12 Pick

I will have the rest up tomorrow, but for now enjoy this 1 martini pick.

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh (-10.5) - The Bengals look like they got a little frisky last weekend in forcing a tie with the Eagles, but just to point out how unlucky they’ve been this year - Shayne Graham’s miss at the end of overtime was the first FG missed against the Eagles all season.  When your bad luck trumps that kind of bad luck, you’re having a bad season.  Now, lest you think Cincy is showing some signs of life, keep in mind that the only thing that kept them in the game was a colossally dumb game plan by Andy Reid to throw the ball 58 times in swirling wind, coupled with a 4 turnover day in the worst game of Donovan McNabb’s career.  Oh, and one of those turnovers was recovered at the Eagles’ one yard line.  This week brings these cats to steeltown, where the coach understands the concept of offensive balance, meaning the QB probably won’t get the chance to turn the ball over four times.  Oh, and the Steelers achilles heel - pass protection?  Not a problem since the Bengals have only recorded 11 sacks all year!  Take Pittsburgh to crush these fools for the state of Pennsylvania.
