NFL Thursday Night Football Player Prop Bet Picks: Titans vs. Steelers (Week 9)
The Titans got a big win with Will Levis as their quarterback, and they hope to ride that momentum into the second half of the season. The AFC North is a very tight race, so every win is important for the Steelers, who have one of the most impactful defenses in the league. There are a lot of impactful players in this matchup, so let’s look at some that could make an impact.

Best Thursday Night Football Player Prop Bets
Odds Courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook
Derrick Henry Over 70.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
This was supposed to be the year King Henry lost his crown and Tajae Spears emerged, but that has not happened. Henry is currently fifth in carries, fourth in rushing yards, and is still one of tougher backs to take down with the third-most yards after contact and fifth-most broken tackles. The Steelers' rushing defense has done well against touchdowns but has been giving yards, as their 4.5 yards allowed per carry are the sixth-most, and they have given up 130 or more rushing yards in four of seven games. Henry will get the volume to push this over.
Kenny Pickett Under 31.5 Pass Attempts (-110)
Year two of the Kenny Pickett era is not going so well, and he was even benched last week after a poor performance against the Jaguars. The Steelers are doing their best to keep the ball out of Pickett's hands, and he has under 30 pass attempts in three of the last four full games he’s played. The Steelers are 27th in plays per game, and the Titans are 30th, this looks to be a slow-paced game, so don't expect many passing opportunities.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Over 1.5 receptions (+100)
This is an interesting prop, and the line is too good not to have him getting two catches. The Steelers are one of the highest blitzing teams at 38.7%, which could mean releasing the ball quicker for Levis, and for Westbrook-Ikhine being in the slot, he's a great option. He has more than two catches in four of six games and of those four, three defenses blitz at 25% or better this year.
