Bengals Vs. Steelers Props Le Veon Bell Licking His Chops

Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell is on the board for 89.5 rushing yards, and we’re taking the OVER.

Bell has averaged 89.4 yards per game this season, so he’s right on that line. The Bengals, however, have trouble stopping the run and have allowed opponents to average 122.1 yards per game on the ground. The last time Bell saw Cincinnati he plowed through their defense for 185 yards on 26 carries. Adjustments will almost certainly be made by Marvin Lewis and his coaching staff, but look for Bell to deliver another strong performance as the Steelers battle for the AFC North title.

Sporting News’ Fantasy Source staff has Bell ranked as its top running back heading into Week 17 so their bullish on his prospects as well.
