Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Week 16 tips & odds

Cincinnati Bengals v Pittsburgh Steelers NFL preview

The Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium, this Sunday (AEDT) promises an enticing divisional showdown. Both teams, amid inconsistent performances, vie for a pivotal win, elevating the intensity of this highly anticipated matchup.

The Bengals emerge as the bookmaker favourite, leaning on Joe Mixon’s dynamic ground game as a crucial red zone asset. Mixon’s proficiency against the Steelers’ struggling rush defence positions him as a probable candidate for multiple touchdowns. Additionally, quarterback Jake Browning’s recent promising displays hint at a potentially aggressive passing game, possibly exceeding a Pass Attempts prop at 31.5, especially in challenging scenarios.

On the Steelers’ side, Jaylen Warren shoulders the responsibility of fortifying their offence. Given the Bengals’ susceptibility against the run, Warren’s Rushing Yards Over at 42.5 and Anytime Touchdown bets present promising prospects. However, uncertainties loom around Mason Rudolph’s adjustment as the starting quarterback, adding a variable to the Steelers’ offensive strategy.

Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers Betting Tips

Cincinnati Bengals -3

Despite injury setbacks, the Bengals’ offensive depth positions them favourably against a wavering Steelers lineup. The absence of key defensive figures, like Minkah Fitzpatrick, might further tip the scales in favour of the Bengals.

Over 38 Total Points

Expect a high-scoring game given the defensive vulnerabilities on both sides. Anticipate the Bengals and Steelers capitalising on defensive weaknesses, potentially leading to increased scoring opportunities. Both offences possess the tools to exploit defensive gaps, setting the stage for an exciting, high-scoring contest.

Jaylen Warren Over 42.5 Rushing Yards

The Bengals have struggled against the run, ranking poorly in several defensive metrics. Warren, poised to receive an expanded workload with Najee Harris’s status uncertain, faces a Bengals front vulnerable to the run. With the Steelers eyeing an offensive resurgence and Warren’s capability to exploit the Bengals’ defensive weaknesses, the Over on his Rushing Yards at 42.5 presents an appealing betting opportunity at Picklebet.
