Lots of bad blood and two QB/WR combos that make the offenses tick.

Last time of course, Cincinnati took care of it by levelling Antonio Brown and sidelining him.Vontaze Burfict aside, there's also a running battle with Dre Kirkpatrick, and the Bengals have done ok keeping Brown in check, but there are scores to settle. Kirkpatrick is prone to giving up the occasional big play, so look for a couple of deep shots from Ben.

Andy Dalton and AJ Green have put up scary numbers against Pittsburgh, and the Steelers corners haven't the talent to stay with Green, so expect the ball to cone his way all day, whether that's enough on the offensive side for the visitors, though, is another matter. Last week, the OL gave up a ton of sacks against the Jets and Dalton won't be offered much time, even with a Steelers pass rush that struggled to get home last week.

I suspect the key here will be Pittsburgh's ground game, just like the Divisional Wild Card game last season, and despite a tough front seven, the Bengals still look vulnerable against the run, a tough situation with DeAngelo Williams red hot. It just adds more dimension to the Steelers' attack and should be enough to edge a tight, bad tempered game.

Could be a cracker!
