Thursday night football in week 7 of the 2025 nfl season is a showdown in the afc north between the pittsburgh bengers and the cincinnati bengals.
Let’s dive into my steeners vs bengals predictions.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals ADDS
Money Line: Steelers -265 / Bengals +215
Spread: Steelers -5.5 (-110 (-110) / Bengals +5.5 (-110)
Total: Over 44.5 (-106) / Under 44.5 (-114)
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals best bet #1: Under 44.5 (-114)
Everything is not going well for the Bengals since Joe Burrow suffered a foot injury that will keep him out for at least three months – and perhaps any comeback point from CINCINNati (2-4) will be out of contention by then. Backup QB Jake Browning was so bad as to replace Burrow that Cincy traded 40-year-old Joe Flacco to Cleveland. Although the Bengals were competitive in a 27-18 comeback in Green Bay last weekend, Flacco averaged 4.9 yards per pass attempt and Cincinnati rushed for just 55 yards.
Things aren’t looking up against a defense that Steence is tied for second in the NFL with 20 sacks. In five games this year (four with Cleveland), Flacco has thrown more interceptions (six) than touchdowns (four) and is completing 59.4 percent of his pass attempts. Cincinnati’s offense is driven and diseased. Chase Brown averages a terrifying 2.7 yards per carry, gaining just 202 yards on 74 carries while scoring just one touchdown. As for the steelers offense, aaron rodger has been solid until 2025 – but at 41 years old his MVP winning days are far, far behind him.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals Best Player Bet: Jaylen Warren over 48.5
There’s no denying Warren has struggled so far this season, but he missed Week 4 with a minor knee injury and had 52 yards on 11 attempts.
The former Oklahoma State statout to see a big roll on Thursday night football, as the Game Pray script calls for Pittsburgh to grab a quick lead and work around the clock. That doesn’t mean rodgers won’t cut the ball around the right amount, but the steelers are a run team – and that should remain the case this time around. The Bengals are No. 28 in the NFL against the run, giving up 135.7 yards per contest.
