There is an old saying that goes, “Make your own luck.” Cincinnati should take heed. To begin with, it’s hard to fathom a worse franchise than the Bengals. Their incompetence sets the tone for bad luck. And the horrific season-ending injury to Joe Burrow epitomizes that. On the other hand, the Steelers were making plenty of NFL betting luck in their first 11 games. During that time, they masked a weak running game. Now that problem is out in the open being exploited. Monday Night the Bengals will take their shot against a Steelers team taking on rust.
