Steelers vs. Bengals Player Props
Looking ahead to his game against Pittsburgh, Jake Browning is being given a passing yards prop of 239.5. At present, the payout for the over and under is at -116.
To date, Browning has passed for 1248 yards on 144 attempts. He boasts a completion rate of 73.6%, and his passer rating is 107.1. Considering that Pittsburgh’s defense features a good pass rush, look for Browning to struggle with less time in the pocket. My pick is to go with the under at 239.5 passing yards.

Steelers VS. Bengals Predictions
From the time the lines were first set, Pittsburgh has moved from -1.5 point favorites to their present line of +3 (-121). Meanwhile, Cincinnati is currently -3 (+100) point underdogs on the road.
I’m going with Pittsburgh to cover on the spread at +3. The Pittsburgh rushing offense is likely to exploit a Cincinnati defense that didn’t defend well against the run in their last game. Lock in Pittsburgh at +3.
