NFL betting will be popular this week on the Pittsburgh Steelers as they travel to Cincinnati to meet the winless Bengals. Pittsburgh is an 11 point road favorite in NFL Week 7 odds action. Not many gamblers are looking at the Bengals but in football betting anything is possible which is why the Bengals have a shot in this game.

The Steelers have gotten solid play on both sides of the ball this season according to football betting stats.
