The Steelers, determined to break their losing streak and complete a season series sweep, are set to face a formidable Bengals team that has won three consecutive games and holds the second wild-card spot in the AFC.

With kickoff at Acrisure Stadium scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET, anticipation mounts for the clash between these division rivals. The Bengals enter the game as three-point favorites in the latest odds, while the over/under for total points scored is set at 38. Ahead of this highly anticipated matchup, CBS Sports expert R.J. White, known for his accurate picks involving the Steelers, shares his insights and predictions.

White has an impressive track record when it comes to his against-the-spread picks, boasting a record of 535-450-30 from 2017-2022.

As White unveils his picks and predictions for the Bengals vs. Steelers matchup, spectators eagerly await his verdict. The Bengals, despite losing star receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a shoulder injury, possess a formidable offense led by quarterback Jake Browning. Browning has thrived in his role, posting impressive numbers and becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to secure multiple overtime victories. However, the absence of Chase may present a challenge for him.

On the other side of the field, the Steelers boast a potent rushing attack, with running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren contributing significantly to the team's success. Pittsburgh's ability to exploit the Bengals' weak run defense, coupled with standout performances from linebacker T.J. Watt, who leads the league in sacks, could tip the scales in favor of the Steelers.

While White's leaning towards the under on the point total, he has uncovered a critical X-factor that influences his pick against the spread. Fans and bettors alike are encouraged to visit SportsLine to discover this key insight and determine which side of the spread White favors.
