The second game of the Saturday NFL doubleheader features the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Bengals need a win and some help to make the NFL playoffs, while the Steelers jostle for playoff positioning and potentially the AFC North title if the Baltimore Ravens lose (an unlikely but not impossible scenario).
Let’s get stuck into my Bengals vs. Steelers props for Saturday night.
Bengals vs. Steelers Player Props
Joe Burrow Over 25.5 Passing Completions (-130)
The MVP race is currently a battle between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, but if it weren’t for the Bengals’ record, then surely Joe Burrow would be in the mix given his incredible individual season.
Burrow has completed 26 or more passes in eight of his last nine games, including 28 when these teams met in Week 13.
The Bengals' season is on the line, and they will put all their hopes on Burrow. The Steelers defense is good, and their pass rush is excellent, but this is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, so he’ll be doing everything in his power to win on Saturday
Pat Freiermuth Over 32.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
As excellent as Burrow has been this season, it hasn’t been enough to get the Bengals safely into the playoffs. Much of the blame is on their defense, which has been terrible.
