About 3 hours until Steelers-Bengals in Cincy. Poni said he is breaking one of his biggest rules as he makes note that every single person on NFL Live picked the Steelers. What are the Bengals good at? Not much – and their best defensive player is now out as Trey Hendrickson will miss the game. Even with everyone picking the Steelers, Poni can’t bring himself to pick against them in this game.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray wouldn’t be surprised if Jalen Ramsey has a limitation in his snap count due to the short week. Ray noted the 17 sacks in the last 3 games and how important the pass rush will be against Joe Flacco. Ray said the Steelers corners provide some matchups with Bengals WRs that are ‘good for football.’ Ray likes the defensive wrinkles the Steelers have thrown in the last few weeks and explained why it brings him back to the Blitzburgh days. Ray doesn’t see any reason why the Steelers should go away from the jumbo package with Darnell Washington and Spencer Anderson. He wondered if we will see any more creativity from that set. Is there any chance this game ends up in a shootout? Ray feels like the division is not lost tonight if the Steelers don’t win the game
