🔥 Bengals vs. Steelers Predictions for NFL Week 3, Sunday, 9/27

Arguably the best highlight of the season thus far was the Ja'Marr Chase touchdown this past Sunday, and we actually have to clarify - his FIRST TD of the game. While that didn’t make up for us going 2-for-3 on anytime TD picks in Week 1, it did make up for year-long fantasy managers enduring his two catches for just 12 yards on that opening Sunday.

Speaking of other picks, beyond our Bengals vs. Steelers predictions for Week 3, make sure that you also check out our NFL expert picks for even more targets. Of course, for many, this AFC North rivalry still takes center stage. While Chase was busy scoring two TDs himself, the Steelers didn’t find the endzone a single time as a team!

After a 20-13 victory to start their 2026-27 campaign, they fell 20-3 to the New England Patriots. A low-scoring game was anticipated, but that was exceptionally rough for Aaron Rodgers and company. In theory, the Cincinnati defense should be a better matchup, so let’s see how that impacts the best bet from our top Bengals vs. Steelers predictions for Week 3. 

🏅 Bengals vs. Steelers Expert Pick: Tee Higgins Anytime TD (+220 at Courtside)

That aforementioned Cinci defense may have gotten some turnovers in Week 1 and helped take down the Houston Texans, but we’re still skeptical; however, the Pittsburgh offense provides even less to be excited about. So, as you can see, we’re back to the Burrow-led offense with our Bengals vs. Steelers predictions.

While it was Chase who had the two scores and big highlights on Sunday, it was Tee Higgins who led the team in receiving yards with 95. It’s his turn to find the end zone this Sunday, which is something he did in both meetings with Pittsburgh last season. That was also while we were making Bengals vs. Steelers predictions on Joe Flacco under center.

It correlates perfectly with what we saw from Pitt’s secondary last year, which allowed the third-most passing yards last season. We also can’t forget that this season, they’ve been dealing with Joey Porter Jr. not suiting up due to his contract drama. All that said, you can also go with Chase Brown here.

He had 99 and 108 yards in the two rivalry games last year, so his props are certainly in play. Even still, we’re going to grab what we view as great value and make the best bet from our Bengals vs. Steelers predictions for Week 3 on Tee Higgins scoring a TD (+220 at Courtside).
