00:00 Pittsburgh booked as a two and a half point home underdog.
00:06 Here are the injury updates that you need.
00:09 Kenny Pickett unable to give it a go for the Pittsburgh
00:12 Steelers. Mitch Trubisky now on the bench. Mason Rudolph will
00:16 make the start. Rudolph Christmas weekend. Whoa. I'm
00:19 laying on the Steelers. Mason Rudolph gets the start for the
00:22 Pittsburgh Steelers. On the other side for the Cincinnati
00:25 Bengals, Jamar Chase will not play in this football game due
00:28 to the shoulder injury he suffered last Saturday in the
00:32 opener of that triple header against the Minnesota Vikings.
00:34 Donnie, you just saw in real time, my brain processed that
00:37 Mason Rudolph is going to start a game on Christmas weekend.
00:42 How do you feel about this game between Pittsburgh and
00:44 Cincinnati? I mean, it's this one of those games where you
00:49 want to take the Pittsburgh Steelers. You look at this game
00:52 and say, this is the ones that they're supposed to win and
00:54 then you rewind just a few weeks back and say, they lost back to
00:57 back to two win football teams. How can you trust them? You
01:00 have wide receivers that have quit on this franchise. You're
01:03 down to your third string quarterback who wasn't even
01:05 good enough to beat out Mitch Trubisky who was horrendous the
01:08 past couple weeks and now you're trying to flail your arms to
01:11 gain some momentum by saying, it can't get any worse guys.
01:14 Here comes Mason Rudolph. He's played for us before and had a
01:18 little bit of success. I don't buy that at all. If you're
01:21 taking a look at this game and being optimistic though, the
01:23 Steelers offense, if we just take all the shenanigans
01:26 throughout the season of let's get rid of Matt Kennedy. He's
01:28 terrible. Let's replace him with a guy who doesn't make any
01:30 upgrades and also now down to our third string quarterback.
01:33 If we can remove that, they still have two quality
01:35 running backs. They still have a quality wide receiving core
01:38 when they feel like playing. They have a couple solid tight
01:41 ends here. They are at home against a football team with a
01:44 backup quarterback and also their best playmaker down and
01:47 you are at home. That should be you as the favorite for the
01:50 Steelers but you're not even the favorite and rightfully so
01:53 and also coming into a football game against the
01:56 Cincinnati defense. That's nowhere near as good as it's
01:58 been been for the past two years under Luenna Ramo. Just take a
02:01 look at the last game against a backup quarterback, which they
02:03 probably should have lost that game but credit the Bengals for
02:05 coming back and winning gave up a buck 43 on the ground close
02:09 to five yards per carry gave up 281 in the air. That's 8.3
02:13 yards per pass attempt. You should be able to move the
02:16 football Ben but then again, we look at the Steelers who can't
02:19 move the football against anybody. I don't know how you
02:22 back the Steelers. I'm just going to preface this by saying
02:25 this Ben. I'm not betting a side in this football game.
02:27 I'll try to attack that props market, but it's hard to quit
02:30 the Steelers even though they've been abysmal against
02:33 teams. They should be crushing.
02:37 (upbeat music)
