Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 6:50 a.m. ET.
Bengals UNDER 10.5 points (+100)
The Bengals will start QB Ryan Finley in this game and that is great news for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh has one of the best scoring defenses in the NFL and should have no problem keeping the Bengals at or below 10 points. Look for Cincy to pass midfield only a few times in this game.
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger OVER 1.5 passing touchdowns (-225)
Over the last few weeks, Roethlisberger has struggled. However, this is a “get-right” game for the future Hall of Fame quarterback. The Bengals aren’t very good in the secondary and Roethlisberger should have a ton of success in a game that could turn into a blowout very quickly.

Steelers WR Chase Claypool OVER 40.5 receiving yards (-105)
After a huge start to the season, things have calmed down for Claypool over the last few weeks. But with this offense needing more big plays, look for the Steelers to take some shots down the field and when they do, for Claypool to be on the receiving end. All he needs is a target or two to make the Over here, but expect this to be a monster game for the former Notre Dame star.
Bengals WR A.J. Green Under 31.5 yards (-110)
Green struggled with Joe Burrow in the lineup. Now, he will be playing with a third-string quarterback who doesn’t push the ball down the field. Look for Ryan Finley to throw the ball to running backs and to tight ends versus challenging Pittsburgh’s top cornerbacks. Take the Under on receiving yards for Green here as it could be a really rough day for the former All-Pro receiver.
Steelers RB James Conner OVER 38.5 rushing yards (-130)
Pittsburgh’s rushing attack has been non-existent over the last few weeks. But against a Bengals’ defense that will be without DT Geno Atkins, look for that to change. Conner should see 15-16 carries in this game and easily exceed 38.5 yards in this game. In fact, don’t be surprised if this is a 100-yard day for Conner on Monday Night Football.
