For the fifth straight week, we’ve got a divisional rivalry kicking off the new NFL slate, this time in the AFC North. We’ve got a now Joe Flacco-led Cincinnati Bengals squad hosting the now Aaron Rodgers-led Pittsburgh Steelers, and with the division being all over the map this year, we’ve got our best Steelers vs. Bengals predictions for Thursday Night Football.

Additionally, while most fans in PA & OH likely have some traditional sportsbooks in their arsenal, we’ve added to our Steelers vs. Bengals picks with a guaranteed Onyx Odds promo code bonus that is available in over 40 states!

Steelers vs. Bengals Predictions For Thursday Night Football, NFL Week 7

Following their victory in London and bye week, the Steelers have an AFC North rivalry against the other Ohio team - the Cleveland Browns. Joe Flacco’s former team of just a week ago never once found the endzone against Pittsburgh’s stifling defense, and the 23-9 win brought Aaron Rodgers’ guys to 4-1 on the season.

It also has them sitting atop the division, and speaking of the division, these teams are all too familiar with one another. Flacco himself has a whopping 22 career games against the Steelers, albeit 21 of them were with the Baltimore Ravens.

As for Cinci, they put up a solid fight against the Green Bay Packers as 14-point underdogs, especially with Joe Flacco having not even been with the team long enough to know half of the guy’s names. Overall, we’re anticipating a classic, gritty AFC North battle, but we’ve got a specific approach for the best bet from our Steelers vs. Bengals predictions.

 

 

 

Steelers vs. Bengals Best Bet: Jaylen Warren Anytime TD (-135 at Onyx Odds)

Speaking of the names on the Bengals roster, among the most important may have joined Joe Burrow in terms of being injured. Star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson left the game against the Packers on Sunday and did NOT return.

On the flip side, we’ve got Pittsburgh star defensive linemen TJ Watt and Cameron Heyward looking fantastic. That’s bad news for a 40-year-old Joe Flacco who is considered a statue in the pocket, especially behind arguably the worst offensive line in the entire NFL.

While that should help lead to a Pittsburgh win, prime-time games between division opponents can often get a bit flukey, so we’re just going to focus our Steelers vs. Bengals picks on a specific part of what we expect to be a Pittsburgh win - Jaylen Warren.

The bye week was huge for him in terms of getting back to 100%, and while his numbers against the Browns won’t jump off the page at you, they have arguably the best defense (especially against the run) in the entire league. Even still, he averaged nearly five yards per carry against Cleveland.

Along with getting the bulk of the carries, we’ve got the best bet from our Steelers vs. Bengals predictions on Jaylen Warren to score an anytime TD (-135 at Onyx Odds).

Favoring Cinci since the Joe Burrow injury is not something the books have been willing to do, and the Steelers vs. Bengals odds for TNF at Onyx Odds continue that theme:

 

 

Steelers vs. Bengals Injury Report & Latest News

As we’ve known for a while now, Joe Burrow will be out until at least mid-December, so let’s discuss more immediate Steelers vs. Bengals injury news. Starting with Pittsburgh, their secondary still isn’t fully back, but with only Darius Slay banged up, it’s getting there.

Outside of Joe Burrow, we noted the biggest Steelers vs. Bengals injury news in Cincinnati with Trey Hendrickson unable to return on Sunday against the Pack. He may not impact the Steelers vs. Bengals odds as much as Burrow, but it’s 100% worth monitoring, which you can do with the Fantasy Alarm NFL injury report.
