We haven't seen the best of Derrick Henry this season — the three-time Pro Bowler only has three touchdowns and 13 red-zone carries.
The good news? The Steelers are exploitable on the ground; they've surrendered the sixth-most rushing yards per game. Henry will also be running behind an offensive line all the way back from the injuries and suspensions they've had to endure.
The trade deadline is in the rearview mirror and the Titans want to make a playoff push. With a rookie quarterback in Will Levis making his second start on a short week on the road, Henry should get his chances when the Titans are in scoring position.

DeAndre Hopkins & George Pickens Parlay
Anytime Touchdown Scorer Parlay (+900)
Pickens and Hopkins are coming off games in which they scored — in Hopkins' case, thrice. The two are similar in the sense that they lead their respective team in overall targets, red-zone targets and receiving yards.
The Tennessee and Pittsburgh defenses have struggled to defend the pass this season, allowing a combined 13 touchdowns to wide receivers. Safety is a problem for both teams — the Steelers will be without Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Titans traded Kevin Byard to the Eagles.
If scoring is likely to be low — the game total is 36.5 — we might as well have a bit of fun with a parlay for a small investment.
