Bengals vs Steelers — Bengals vs Steelers picks
Pick 1: Steelers 1st Half -3.5 (-105)
Cincinnati has drawn the bulk of attention on the full-game spread after swinging from a small favorite to a sizable underdog. However, Pittsburgh still holds early-script advantages with a pass rush that can heat up Joe Flacco before the Bengals settle in. With Acrisure Stadium rocking and the Steelers’ scripted series often leaning aggressive, laying -3.5 in the first half isolates the portion of the game where Pittsburgh’s defensive front and scripted offense are most likely to dictate tempo.
Pick 2: Aaron Rodgers Over 234.5 passing yards (-105)
The Bengals’ secondary has surrendered explosive plays for most of the season, especially when opponents protect the quarterback on early downs. Aaron Rodgers has enough weaponry on the perimeter to punish single coverage, and Pittsburgh’s ground game does not always create short-yardage situations. Therefore, in a contest with a total near 49.0 and multiple deep threats on the Steelers’ side, Rodgers clearing 234.5 passing yards is a reasonable way to back the home offense without chasing a big spread.

Things to Know Before You Bet
- Quarterback profiles: Rodgers is more comfortable in structure, while Flacco will test tight windows downfield, which increases turnover risk on the road.
- Trench battle: Pittsburgh’s defensive front still wins consistently, so early-down pressure could force Cincinnati into uncomfortable second-and-long situations.
- Explosive skill talent: Ja’Marr Chase and Jaylen Warren both turn limited touches into big chunks, which can swing live totals and alternate spreads quickly.
- Acrisure environment: Crowd noise usually peaks early, therefore first-half markets may be friendlier to the favorite than full-game numbers.
