Best Derrick Henry prop bet for Ravens at Steelers on Sunday 1/4/26

By: Hunter Skoczylas

The Steelers will host the Ravens in a win-or-go-home situation with the AFC North title and a playoff berth on the line. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Baltimore is a 3.5-point favorite, and the game’s total is set at O/U 41.5 points.

Below, I’ll go over my favorite Derrick Henry prop to consider from this contest.


Best Derrick Henry Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Derrick Henry 20+ Rushing Attempts (-114)

In case you missed it, King Henry turned 32 years old today, and just totaled 36 carries for 216 yards and four touchdowns last week. So, the Ravens gameplan better be to feed the man, especially on his birthday. Henry tends to be misused by the Ravens’ coaching staff and has only cleared 20 carries in 6-of-16 games this season, but he has cleared this mark in the past three meetings against the Steelers.

Pittsburgh’s run defense ranks 25th in rushing EPA, and it has struggled to contain Henry in those past three meetings. With Lamar Jackson looking off and having a rough history against the Steelers, the Ravens should lean on Henry and feed him regularly.
