Can Pittsburgh and Cincinnati combine for 48 points? Chuck says no

Will the teams combine for at least 48 points? I picked No for Sunday night’s rematch in Cincinnati. Kickoff is at 8:20 p.m. Eastern on NBC.

Pittsburgh won the first meeting 30–27. Since then, the Steelers held New Orleans to 10 and Cleveland to six before their bye. I’m counting on Pittsburgh to make Cincinnati work for its points, even if the Bengals win the rematch.

Joe Burrow gives the Yes side a case. He threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns in Cincinnati’s 34–17 win over Atlanta in Madrid. If the Bengals score 34 again, Pittsburgh only needs two touchdowns to get the game to 48. I see it closer to 27–20. That still leaves No by a point.
