It’s a big weekend in the AFC North. The Steelers, losers of three of their last four games, have allowed the Ravens and the Bengals to catch up in the division race. They’ll take on Cincinnati while the Ravens face the Browns, and it promises to clear up the North picture. We’re in for a fun one here, and the player prop market is exciting.
The Steelers enter as 5.5-point home favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook, while the Bengals are listed as +200 underdogs. The game’s total is set at 48.5 points. Here are my top player props for Sunday’s Week 11 matchup between the Steelers and Bengals.
Best Bengals vs. Steelers Player Prop Bets
Joe Flacco 270+ Passing Yards (+109)
Mike Tomlin’s prophecy came true. After the Browns traded Joe Flacco to the Bengals, Tomlin went on the record saying that he couldn’t understand helping out your divisional rival. He felt the burn when Flacco tossed three touchdowns on top of 342 passing yards. Now, Flacco gets another chance at his old rival.
I’m not as convinced of a Bengals victory, but with how feeble their running attack has been, a lot of Flacco volume feels likely. He remains an excellent chain mover.
Aaron Rodgers 3+ Pass TDs Thrown (+199)
Few secondaries are worse than Cincinnati’s. They’re second-worst in yards allowed per pass attempt, third-worst in total passing yards allowed, and dead last in passing touchdowns allowed. It’s a great spot for Aaron Rodgers to continue a solid season.
As usual, Pittsburgh will try to establish the run, but Rodgers will likely have lots of play action open down the field. When it gets into the red zone and they can spread things out, he should be able to capitalize. I like the near two-to-one value on Rodgers to get a hat trick through the air.
