Saturday’s Best NFL Same Game Parlay Bets: Bengals vs. Steelers
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
- Leg 1: Bengals -2.5 (-112)
- Leg 2: Ja’Marr Chase 90+ Receiving Yards (-130)
- Leg 3: Najee Harris 50+ Rushing Yards (-105)
At one point, it looked like the Steelers not only had the division locked up but were competing for the No. 1 seed in the AFC, but they have lost three in a row. They just haven't played well. The defense has struggled to make stops, Russell Wilson hasn't been proficient in the air and even with two solid running backs, they have not done much on the ground. That's to be expected when you go through a gauntlet of Kansas City, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Cincinnati's record might not show it, but they are hot as they come in winning four straight. Winning this game still gives them a chance to make the playoffs. They need a win, plus a Broncos loss and a Dolphins loss/tie. Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase have been dynamic together, and Chase will have the opportunity to win the receiving triple crown as he leads in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns.
The Bengals need to be aggressive throughout all 60 minutes tonight. They did a lot of things well in their last matchup with the Steelers, especially holding Pittsburgh to field goals, but they just didn't have enough in the tank at the end. That was the last time they lost, and with how this team is playing now, they can undoubtedly avenge it.
It will be cold and windy for this game, which should have an impact when each team has long field goal opportunities. That might make each team more aggressive on offense, which will favor the Bengals, especially if Tee Higgins suits up.
