Sunday afternoon’s loaded NFL Week 7 slate kicks off in Saint-Denis, France, with a cross-conference showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints at 9:30 a.m. ET.
The Steelers (4–2, 1st AFC North) have won back-to-back games, including last week’s 26–19 overtime win over the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay. The Saints (2–4, 2nd NFC South) bounced back from three straight losses with a 34–27 road win over the New York Giants.
Pittsburgh enters as a three-point favorite with -170 moneyline odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. New Orleans is a +142 underdog, with the game total set at O/U 44.5 points.
Let’s dive into the top player prop bets for Sunday’s international clash between the Steelers and the Saints.
Steelers vs. Saints NFL Player Prop Bets for Week 7
Germie Bernard | 6+ Receptions (+126)
Germie Bernard has arrived. The rookie wide receiver has had Aaron Rodgers’ full attention over the past two weeks, hauling in 17 of 21 targets for 167 yards and a touchdown. Bernard recorded 6+ receptions in both contests, exploding for 11 catches in last week’s overtime win over the Buccaneers.
The second-rounder out of Alabama, 22, should carry that momentum overseas with a favorable matchup against a porous New Orleans defense. The Saints are tied for the NFL high in average points allowed (29.7) and rank 29th in opponent yards per game (377.7). They’ve already surrendered 6+ receptions to seven pass-catchers this season — and Bernard is well-positioned to follow suit.
Tyler Shough | Under 228.5 Passing Yards (-113)
After a blistering start to the season, Tyler Shough has stumbled in recent weeks. Despite throwing for three touchdowns in last week’s win over the Giants, the second-year quarterback completed only 53.3 percent of his passes for 144 yards. It was his second straight week falling well short of 228.5 passing yards; Shough was held to just 96 yards in Week 5 against the Vikings.
Shough, 27, now draws another tough assignment in the Steelers, who have been solid at shutting down the passing game this season. Heading into France, Pittsburgh ranks 10th in opposing QB completion rate (61.7 percent) and 7th in opponent passing yards per game (204.3).
