The Bengals have a similarly easy schedule, but they probably won't have Andy Dalton for the rest of the regular season at best. AJ McCarron looked okay, but when you gameplan for the Red Rocket and get the Crimson Pea Shooter, they might have some mild success. He still threw two picks (one a pick six) and only scored again in garbage time. So with a whole week to gameplan for McCarron, maybe the 9ers can beat them. If the Bengals lose out, we take the division. My hopes aren't dashed yet.
Steelers are a 6 point favorite at home over the Broncos.
We're not (fortunately) starting OverPeyton this week. We are, however, starting our weak-assed excuse for an offensive line, so there's that...

It's going to be a good game. First time they've played in Pittsburgh for a while. Last few meetings (including The Tebow Shame) have been in Denver. Brock is not so good at throwing the long ball, and that is the Steelers' weakness. The matchup goes in the Steelers' favor. That's why they'll lose.

What did everybody pick with the Bengals game? I decided to still go with them despite Andy Dalton injury. I'm hoping the defense picks up the slack against the 49ers.

I'm a Bengals fan and had to give this one a bit of thought. With a week of dedicated preparation I think McCarron can be very effective. I worry about the picks, but liked the fact that he came out slinging the ball last week when he came in rather than being overly conservative with the play calling. I don't disagree with your desire for the defense to pick up the slack, but I think it's time for Jeremy Hill to end what I'll call his 'extended off season'.
With Eifert out, if Hill doesn't make an impact the 49ers can sit back in Cover 2 and make it a very long day for the Bengals' offense. The 49ers are near the bottom in run defense so I'm optimistic.

They stuck with their game plan, that's why they weren't conservative with McCarron.
This week they'll model the game plan for what he's good at.
They'll beat the 49ers. The offense will only need to score 15 points or so because the defense is that good and the 9ers offense is that bad.

I am so relieved to see that I didn't pick a lone team, if you know what I mean.
I retract that statement. I did pick a lone team lol

Wow, there's a few questionable picks 
P.S. The 49ers aren't beating anyone.
