The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-0) will face the Tennessee Titans (5-0) Sunday of Week 7 in a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Nissan Stadium. Below, we give you five player/team prop bets to consider from the BetMGM game menu.
5 Pittsburgh Steelers prop bet predictions for Week 7
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:35 a.m. ET.
Steelers RB James Conner OVER 66.5 rushing yards (-115)
Through five games, Conner already has three games in which he has rushed for at least 100 yards. The other two include a Week 1 game in which he was injured and a Week 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles where he totaled 63 yards. Conner has reestablished himself as the team’s workhorse back, averaging 17.3 carries per game over the last four weeks. Look for him to approach that total in this game and easily clear the 66.5-yard threshold against the Titans.
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger UNDER 276.5 passing yards (-115)
If the Steelers are able to run the ball well against the Titans, don’t expect Roethlisberger to be asked to do too much. He will be tasked with converting on third down and winning in the red zone, but Pittsburgh isn’t going to ask him to win this game on his own. Look for the Steelers to keep his passing attempts low and for Roethlisberger to come under the 276.5 passing yards BetMGM has set for him in Week 7.

Steelers WR Chase Claypool’s longest reception OVER 20.5 yards (-115)
When Roethlisberger takes chances down the field in this game, look for him to target rookie WR Claypool down the sideline. The second-round pick from Notre Dame has incredible ball-skills on top of insane athleticism and size. He can make plays after the catch, too, which is part of the reason why he’s been so successful to start the season. Look for Claypool to catch multiple passes beyond 20 yards in Week 7.
Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster UNDER 48.5 receiving yards (-115)
While Claypool has been incredibly productive, the same can’t be said for former Pro Bowl WR Smith-Schuster. The former USC star has yet to record 70 yards in a game this season and his yardage total has dropped in every week since the start of the season. Smith-Schuster hasn’t topped 48.5 receiving yards since Week 1 and don’t expect him to do it this week as the Steelers have plenty of other targets in their passing offense.
Steelers WRs Chase Claypool and Diontate Johnson each record 50+ receiving yards (+250)
If you are going to fade Smith-Schuster in Week 7, another way to bet against him is to wager on Claypool and Johnson to each record 50-plus receiving yards. Now that Johnson is healthy, he should see his usual workload. And that means he should easily eclipse 50 yards. At +250, this is also a good bet on the Steelers’ passing attack, if you believe they will have a lot of success through the air.
