5 Pittsburgh Steelers prop bets to make in Week 6
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 10:27 p.m. ET.
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger OVER 273.5 passing yards (-115)
Roethlisberger’s passing yards total seems to rise every week as he is further and further removed from his elbow injury. In Week 6, he will face a Browns defense that has allowed the third-most passing yards per game this season. To make matters worse, Cleveland will be without their top three safeties in Grant Delpit, Karl Joseph and Ronnie Harrison Jr. Look for the veteran quarterback to carve up this young secondary and approach 300 yards in the AFC North matchup.

Steelers RB James Conner UNDER 90.5 total yards (-115)
Over the last few weeks, we have seen the Steelers rotate their running backs more than usual. Rookie RB Anthony McFarland even saw some touches in Week 5, splitting time with RBs Conner and Benny Snell. Look for Conner to continue to see the most work for the Steelers, but for him to come Under the 90.5 yardage total in Week 5. It’s also worth noting that Cleveland has allowed the third-fewest rushing yards in the NFL through their first five games. It could be tough sledding for Pittsburgh’s rushing attack on Sunday.
Roethlisberger’s longest completion OVER 36.5 passing yards (-115)
With several of the Browns’ top defensive backs out, look for Roethlisberger to attack this secondary down the field. Pittsburgh has several targets who can create explosive plays in the passing game, including WRs James Washington and Chase Claypool. Expect Roethlisberger to have multiple 40+ yard completions in this contest.
Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster OVER 55.5 receiving yards (-115)
After a fantastic start to his career, fourth-year WR Smith-Schuster has been in a bit of a slump as of late. However, he gets a fantastic matchup in Week 6 as Cleveland has struggled to stop slot receivers all season long. With WR Diontae Johnson out and Roethlisberger likely needing to get rid of the ball quickly, this could easily be a six or seven-catch game for Smith-Shuster. Look for him to easily exceed 55.5 receiving yards if Roethlisberger hits the 273.5-yard passing total as we previously mentioned.
Claypool first Pittsburgh TD scorer (+450)
After scoring four touchdowns last week, can rookie Claypool reach the end zone first for the Steelers in Week 6? It’s clear that the Steelers and Roethlisberger love his size and quickness in the red zone and with second-year WR Johnson out of this game, Claypool could see double-digit targets once again. At +450, Claypool is a good bet to reach the end zone first for the Steelers.
