The Pittsburgh Steelers may be in the middle of a much-needed bye week — but that doesn't mean there still aren't exciting matchups for fans pay close attention to. From cheering against a new-look divisional rival to several games with AFC standings at stake,
Following the conclusion of Sunday's Week 7 games, the Pittsburgh Steelers rank near the very top of the AFC standings.
The Steelers enter the Week 7 matchup against Cincinnati as 5.5-point betting favorites, according to CBS Sports.
