Steelers vs. Bengals Key Player to Watch

  • Joe Burrow, QB - Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Burrow has put together a phenomenal season and has most recently taken over as the betting favorite to be named NFL MVP at +200, slightly ahead of Josh Allen (+225) and Brock Purdy (+450). He leads all quarterbacks in passing yards per game (298.3), touchdowns (23), and completion percentage (74%). If he keeps playing at that level, the sky is the limit for the Bengals.

Steelers vs. Bengals Prediction and Best Bet

In this week's edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I broke down why I'm going to continue to ride the Bengals' hype train:

I've been writing for more than a week now about how I'm all in on the Bengals, so it'd be hypocritical of me to bet against them in a big Sunday Night Football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since Week 4, the Bengals' offense has led the NFL in both EPA per play and success rate, and Joe Burrow is leading every NFL quarterback in virtually every passing metric despite already having his BYE week.

The Steelers are coming off their BYE week, but it's important to note that they've had the fourth-easiest schedule in the NFL through the first nine weeks. Despite having a cupcake start to their schedule, they're just 14th in net yards per play, and their offense is in the bottom half of the NFL in both EPA per play and success rate.

This game is going to show us that the Bengals are contenders and the Steelers are pretenders. Lay the points on Cincinnati.
