Bengals vs Steelers Predictions, Bet Builder Tips & Latest Odds
We had another week of upsets, big wins and bad injuries throughout the NFL. There is still only one team that is yet to win a game, and no one is undefeated.
We now move on to week seven as the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Cincinnati to face the Bengals in an exciting divisional matchup on Thursday Night Football.
Here at Free Bets we have got the best tips for you to make a 7/1 bet builder to get your NFL betting week off to a great start with Paddy Power.
Bengals vs Steelers Tips: 7/1 Bet Builder
Three picks combine to create my Bengals vs Steelers bet builder.
Tip 1: Pittsburgh Steelers -2.5 (Alternate handicap market)
The Steelers have had a great start to the season and have a 4-1 record over the first six weeks. They don’t look like a team that is going to destroy many other teams, but they clearly have got the players and coaches that know how to win.
They have won their last three games against the Patriots, Vikings and Browns and have covered the -2.5 we want in this bet. It will also help that they are going up against a Bengals team that have fallen apart without their star quarterback Joe Burrow.
The Bengals were 2-0 when Burrow got injured but since then they have lost four on the bounce to the Vikings, Broncos, Lions and Packers. It’s hard to see them suddenly turning this around because it isn’t just the quarterback that is the problem.
The Bengals defence is currently ranked 30th in the NFL and that is huge problem for a team without its star quarterback. Expect the Steelers to get over the line by just enough to get the bet builder off to a great start.
Tip 2: DK Metcalf to score a touchdown anytime
The Steelers offence has been decent over the first six weeks of the season. Aaron Rodgers has come in and is showing signs of his old self. After a rough couple of years in New York he has already shown he still has quality.
So far over five games he has a 68.8% pass completion rate along with ten touchdowns and three interceptions. His main target and most likely to score a touchdown is wide receiver DK Metcalf.
Metcalf has scored four touchdowns in his last four games and has amassed 356 yards. If anyone is likely to get a passing touchdown from Rodgers, then it will be Metcalf.
Tip 3: Ja’Marr Chase to score a touchdown anytime
The Bengals offence has fallen away after Joe Burrow’s injury. However, it had a bit of life from it last week with newly acquired Joe Flacco playing quarterback.
There is a limit to what the veteran can do but he had a decent performance against a good Packers defence last Sunday. Flacco made 29 completions for 219 yards and two touchdowns.
Out of that performance from Flacco we saw Chase get ten receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown. With Chase getting over 33% of receptions it means that Flacco will focus on Chase as his main target.
If Chase can get a touchdown against the Packers defence, he will have a good chance against the Steelers as well to complete the bet builder.
