The Bengals are desperate to get back on track against their AFC North foe, the Steelers, on Sunday afternoon. Despite the team’s lack of success, Joe Burrow has been arguably the best player in the league, lighting up the box score and solidifying his standing as an elite signal caller.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Cincinnati is currently a three-point favorite, with the game’s total set at 47 points. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bet centered around Burrow for this divisional showdown.
Best Joe Burrow Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Joe Burrow 250+ Passing Yards (-175)
The Cincinnati defense has failed in what has been a career year for Joe Burrow. The former first-overall pick has put his squad on his back and is the only reason they are remotely competitive. Even with elite weapons on the perimeter, Tee Higgins dealing with nagging injuries, an inconsistent run game, and a substandard offensive line has rattled what’s been a solid foundation around Burrow. He’s dealt with the turmoil seamlessly, tossing 27 touchdowns on the campaign for over 3,000 yards.
The 27-year-old gets a matchup against a Pittsburgh defense that has taken a slight step back in recent weeks. It’s fallen to eighth in EPA against the past, and its overaggressive secondary has been susceptible to getting burned. Burrow is an aggressive gunslinger who likes to push the ball downfield and is primed to go big-play hunting if he can stay upright.
The superstar has surpassed this line in three straight outings and will have enough attempts to soar past this threshold. The value is solid enough to be enticing, and Burrow is too talented not to back in a big matchup.
