Steelers vs. Bengals Odds

Steelers vs. Bengals NFL Player Prop Bets for Sunday Night Football

Ja’Marr Chase Over 87.5 Receiving Yards (-110)

The Bengals have a dynamic offense, with Joe Burrow leading the NFL in passing yards per game and passing touchdowns entering Week 10. Chase is a primary weapon in the attack, and his chemistry with Burrow is a driving force behind that success. Through eight games, Chase has recorded 53 receptions on 73 targets for 647 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

Chase is averaging 80.9 receiving yards per game and has cleared 87.5 yards three times this season. That includes the Week 3 matchup against Pittsburgh, when he caught nine passes for 98 yards, along with each of his past two games.

While Tee Higgins also commands a significant role in the offense, Chase has been particularly productive lately. Across the past two games, he has tallied 21 receptions on 28 targets for 296 receiving yards and reached the end zone in both outings. He followed an 11-catch, 141-yard performance against Tennessee with 10 receptions for 155 yards against Atlanta. Pittsburgh presents a respectable defensive test, but Chase’s recent target volume is too much to overlook. Burrow has consistently given him opportunities to make plays, and Chase already showed he can produce against this defense in the first meeting. I’d expect Cincinnati to continue feeding its star receiver. I like Chase to finish with at least 88 receiving yards for the third consecutive game and the second time this season against Pittsburgh.

Pat Freiermuth Over 26.5 Receiving Yards (-113)

On the other side of the matchup, Freiermuth has an opportunity to capitalize on a vulnerable Cincinnati defense. Through eight games, the Penn State product has recorded 25 receptions on 35 targets for 235 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He is averaging 29.4 receiving yards per game and has cleared 26.5 yards in five of his eight appearances.

Freiermuth has recorded at least two receptions in every game this season, including two catches for 30 yards in the first meeting with Cincinnati. The Bengals have struggled to contain opposing tight ends, allowing 8.8 yards per target to the position, ranking 31st in the NFL.

It feels like his importance in the offense has continued to scale up as the season has progressed. He trailed only DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard in most routes run on this Steelers team in the previous game and posted a season-high 76% route share in Week 7. Given his consistent role in the passing attack and vulnerabilities that Cincinnati has shown against opposing tight ends, expect him to have no trouble clearing 26.5 yards through the air for the sixth time this season. There is also some value on the alternate lines, such as the +202 odds for 40+ receiving yards on DraftKings Sportsbook. Freiermuth has tallied 40 or more yards twice already this season.

Joe Burrow to Record 3+ Passing Touchdowns (+157)

Burrow has made a clear MVP case for himself this season, climbing to the +2000 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook. The three-time Pro Bowler has completed 74.0% of his passes for 2,386 passing yards, 23 passing touchdowns, and six interceptions while adding three rushing touchdowns. He enters Week 10 leading the NFL in completion percentage, passing yards per game, and passing touchdowns.

Burrow is averaging 2.9 passing touchdowns per game and has thrown at least three in five of his eight appearances. That includes the first matchup against Pittsburgh, when he completed 28 of 37 passes for 282 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. The Bengals’ passing attack has been especially productive lately. Burrow has thrown 16 touchdown passes across his past four games, including five against Tennessee and three against Atlanta in his two most recent outings. Chase and Higgins have both been major factors in that stretch, with Higgins catching two touchdown passes in each of the past two games.

Cincinnati has fully handed the keys of the offense to Burrow, and the pass-oriented attack has led to plenty of success. I’d expect the Bengals to put the ball in Burrow’s hands again tonight. Chase and Higgins give him two dangerous options near the end zone, and his recent production supports another aggressive approach. At +157, I like Burrow to record at least three passing touchdowns for the sixth time this season.
