The Cincinnati Bengals have little margin for error for the rest of the season.
Unfortunately for them, things won’t be easy for them on Sunday.
They will host the Pittsburgh Steelers for a divisional clash, and Colin Cowherd doesn’t like their chances.
Even if they win, he thinks this will be a very close game.
Talking on The Volume, the renowned analyst said that he liked the Steelers to cover the +3-point spread here.
He stated that as great as Joe Burrow is, he won’t be able to do much when the Steelers star in a run-heavy game and dominate the time of possession.
Is @ColinCowherd Sharp or Square for thinking the Steelers beat the Bengals today? ?@DKSportsbook #dkpartnerhttps://t.co/7bfZQURcOt pic.twitter.com/PRdik54eRv

The Steelers are coming off a loss and had some additional time to prepare for this divisional clash.
Mike Tomlin is one of the savviest coaches in the National Football League, and it’s rare for the Steelers to drop consecutive games, so Cowherd’s prediction makes a lot of sense.
The Steelers know how to win ugly, hard-fought games.
The Bengals have been a much better team in the second half of the season under Zac Taylor, but their defensive miscues have been way too much to ignore this season.
Burrow is 3-2 vs. the Steelers in his career, but for the first time, he’ll face a somewhat competent offense that can also score points.
Divisional matchups are usually a toss-up, but placing your money against Mike Tomlin is not always wise.
