NFL experts giving Steelers only a small chance at upsetting Bengals in Week 1

The smart folks over at NFL Pick Watch aggregate NFL picks from all across the internet, and this week the experts are taking the Bengals in droves with 95 percent leaning toward Cincinnati.

Pittsburgh enters the season with a new quarterback and hope for the future, but there are going to be growing pains and hiccups. This makes an opening-week matchup with the best team in the AFC North an even bigger long shot. Pittsburgh is currently a 6.5-point underdog, according to Tipico Sportsbook.
