5 Pittsburgh Steelers prop bet predictions for Week 8
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:45 a.m. ET.
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger OVER 1.5 passing touchdowns (-121)
For Pittsburgh to upset Baltimore, it’s going to need a vintage Roethlisberger performance. Luckily, he has the weapons in the passing game to do so. Baltimore can be exposed some in the passing game as its linebackers and safeties are better against the run than against the pass. Look for Roethlisberger to clear 40 passing attempts in this game and wind up with two or more touchdowns.
Steelers RB James Conner UNDER 86.5 yards from scrimmage (-115)
Baltimore has one of the best front sevens in all of the NFL and teams are struggling to run the ball against them. While Conner has been fantastic this season, don’t expect him to be all that effective against Baltimore. Take the Under 86.5 yards.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson UNDER 53.5 receiving yards (-115)
After missing Week 6 due to an injury, Johnson saw a team-leading 15 targets in Week 7; however, he was forced to leave that game due to injury. Johnson is back in the lineup this week, but he is a shaky play right now considering his health issues. Expect him to see a few targets, but for the Under to hit as Roethlisberger spreads the ball around to multiple receivers
Steelers WR Chase Claypool UNDER 4.5 receptions (-143)
Claypool has had a fascinating rookie season. In Weeks 5-6, he saw 16 touches and turned them into 197 yards and five touchdowns. In Week 7, he received just one target as he was a non-factor against the Tennessee Titans. Expect him to be more involved in this game, but take the Under of 4.5 receptions as he has cleared that mark just once in his NFL career.
Steelers FB Derek Watt to score and Steelers win (+3300)
Looking for a real long-shot bet? Consider betting on Watt to score and for the Steelers to win. Watt is back in the lineup after missing time with an injury and the team will need him to play smash-mouth football. Don’t be surprised if he gets a red-zone carry or two or if Roethlisberger finds him on a play-action pass for an easy score. At 33-1, the odds are just too good to pass up.
