🔮 Thursday Night Football predictions: Steelers vs. Bengals
Here are our best NFL picks for Thursday Night Football between the Steelers vs. Bengals in Week 7:
CIN +5.5 (-108) via Gary Pearson: "Flacco had just four days to prepare for an away game in a hostile environment with his new employer against a Green Bay Packers team that is among the Super Bowl odds contenders.
After the 40-year-old settled in, at least somewhat, he and his Bengals outscored the Packers 18-17 in the second half. Yes, there were extenuating circumstances, but I saw enough to back the wily veteran to keep things close against a Steelers team that rarely wins comfortably."
PIT -5.5 (-110) via C Jackson Cowart: "Until the Bengals show any signs of life offensively, I simply can't in good conscience bet on them to keep any game within one score - especially against a division rival quietly riding a three-game win streak."
