Steelers vs Bengals Prop Picks, Preview
Pat Freiermuth 25+ Receiving Yards (-131)
My favorite prop on the Sunday Night Football slate is Pat Freiermuth to go over his receiving yards total. It's worth noting different books have wildly different totals, so shop around for the best line.
The Steelers' tight end has finished with 25 or more receiving yards in five of eight games this season. In Pittsburgh's last game, Freiermuth ranked third in routes run behind Germie Bernard and DK Metcalf. The tight end is a key part of the passing game, and this is a matchup where the Steelers could find themselves in a negative (passing) script.
The Bengals defense has allowed only one touchdown to a tight end this season, but they’ve been torched time and again by TEs. They have given up the most yardage per game to TEs (80.6).
Pick: Pat Freiermuth 25+ Receiving Yards (-131, DraftKings)
Germie Bernard Over 4.5 Receptions (-120)
Thanks to DK Metcalf stretching the field, Germie Bernard is getting those shorter passes in the middle.
Bernard has carved out a role in this offense, especially with Michael Pittman still injured, and the rookie has become the second passing option, which is impressive given Aaron Rodgers' reputation for not trusting rookies.
Bernard really broke out in Week 5, catching six of nine targets for 80 yards, but what matters is that he’s had five or more targets in every game since.
Across that four-game span, he’s been on the field for at least 85% of snaps and racked up 31 targets.
Pick: Germie Bernard Over 4.5 Receptions (-120, BetMGM)
Chase Brown Over 45.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
I’m very bullish on Chase Brown in this game. It’s been a very poor season and he hasn’t found the end zone since Week 1, but when you dig into the numbers, Brown has shown promising signs and is more efficient than Samaje Perine.
Last week, Brown finished with +11 rushing yards over expected, again showing his efficiency. He averaged 6.3 yards per carry and had a 56% success rate. The numbers are positive, and he’s a player primed for positive regression.
As good as the Steelers defense is against the run, there’s a strong chance they sell out for the pass given Joe Burrow’s MVP form, which should unstack the box and help Brown have a strong Sunday.
Pick: Chase Brown Over 45.5 Rushing Yards (-115, DraftKings)
