The Cincinnati Bengals looked very good in last week's game vs. the Packers, but will they be able to beat the defending Super Bowl champions? I think it is possible if the Bengals are able to run the ball efficiently. Cedric Benson has looked pretty good so far, but Cincinnati has not played as good of a team as Pittsburgh. If Cedric Benson can get big gains against the best defense in the National Football League, then the Bengals should be able to win, of course there is more to it than the running game. The Bengals will also need to be able to pass the ball, Carson Palmer looked better than he has in a long time last Sunday with 185 yards passing, and got his first regular season win in over 600 days. If Carson plays as good or better than last week, that will be bug for the Bengals. Also the improving defense has to stop Big Ben and the rest of the Steeler's offense. Not only is the Miami (OH) alumni dangerous, so is the former Buckeye, Santonio Holmes. Holmes can catch about anything you throw at him, weather it was a hail mary from Troy Smith, or a super bowl winning catch from Big Ben. Cincy will have to put pressure on Ben and stop their (poor) running. Also will have to stop the Steelers from having big gains. All and all the Bengals COULD win. I say the final is 24-21 Bengals in OT.
