Our picks for Steelers vs. Bengals

Pick against the spread: CIN 4.5

The Steelers were without star outside linebacker TJ Watt when these two teams met in Week 3. Watt was able to practice in a limited capacity this week, but we have seen how much of a difference-maker he is for this Steelers defense. The Bengals have all of their offensive weapons healthy and if the Steelers are at less than 100% this game is going the Bengals way.

Over/under: UNDER 44.5

This one finished 24-10 when the teams met up in Week 3 and while the Steelers missed Watt on defense, they had a healthy offense. We haven’t seen the Bengals' offense continue their quick scoring ability with 75-yard touchdowns to wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and they are grinding out drives just like the Steelers tend to do. I think this one stays low-scoring and is won between the trenches.

Preferred player prop: Joe Burrow OVER 1.5 TD passes

Burrow has hit a slump of late, but did have three touchdown passes against the Steelers earlier in the season and has topped 1.5 TDs in eight of ten games this season.
