The Cincinnati Bengals are 2-4 after four consecutive losses. Now, they will gear up to host the Pittsburgh Steelers on a short week on Thursday night.

The Bengals are 1-0 in the division thus far, defeating the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. And while the Pittsburgh Steelers come into the game 4-1, history says this game will be the Bengals' to lose.

The Steelers are 14-21 all-time on Thursday night, and they are 1-5 in their last six Thursday night games. Additionally, Mike Tomlin has never won a divisional road game on Thursday night, and Pittsburgh is 2-8 in road Thursday night games.

All of this adds up for a potential upset in the Bengals' favor. They enter the game as 5.5-point underdogs, according to FanDuel.
