The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers will face off in a duel between two 1-1 teams who have hopes of sneaking into the AFC Playoffs this season.

You can check out the odds and a pick on the side in this game in our betting preview. In this article, I'm going to focus on the player prop market. I have three of them locked in for this game, so let's dive into them.

Steelers vs. Patriots Best NFL Prop Bets

• Hunter Henry Anytime Touchdown (+300) via DraftKings
• Aaron Rodgers OVER 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (+115) via BetMGM
• DK Metcalf Longest Reception OVER 23.5 Yards (-110) via FanDuel

Hunter Henry Anytime Touchdown (+300)

Hunter Henry only has five receptions so far this season, but he has 11 targets, which is the second most amongst all Patriots pass-catchers. That tells me that his numbers are going to see some positive regression in the coming month. If you want a bit of a dark horse to find the end zone in this game, Henry is a great bet at 3-1 odds.

Aaron Rodgers OVER 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (+115)

Aaron Rodgers didn't reach the OVER on this number in Week 2. People forget he threw for 28 scores last season, and he's already started his 2025 campaign with five touchdown throws. Now, he gets to face a Patriots secondary that has struggled this season. Rodgers is set up to have a big game on Sunday.

DK Metcalf Longest Reception OVER 23.5 Yards (-110)

We're taking a look at DK Metcalf for the second week in a row, but this time I'm going to bet the OVER on his longest reception at 23.5 yards. He and the Steelers will take on a Patriots defense that has given up 13 passing plays of 20+ yards this season, which is three more than the next-worst team. The Patriots have also given up 12.6 yards per completion, which is the third most in the NFL. Metcalf had a 31-yard reception in Week 1, so let's see if he can pop off for another long one on Sunday.
