Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers (-4, 43.5)

Andy Dalton over 262.5 passing yards (-110)

Clay: The Bengals have called for a pass on 73% of their offensive plays this season, which is third highest in the league. Dalton has, in turn, thrown for 978 yards over three games (326 per game), including 418 yards in Seattle, 311 yards against San Francisco and 249 yards against a tough Buffalo pass defense. Through three weeks, Dalton sits second in the league in both pass attempts and passing yards. This week, Dalton faces a Steelers defense that has given up 76 pass completions (sixth most) for 918 yards (third most), as well as an 8.9 YPA (fifth highest) and 74% completion rate (fourth highest). All three quarterbacks who have faced the Steelers this season have reached at least 277 passing yards. Expect Dalton to come in closer to 297 yards in Week 4.
