All via William Hill Sportsbook.Date:Monday, Dec. 21|Time:8:15 p.m. ETLocation:Paul Brown Stadium (Cincinnati, Ohio)TV:ESPN |Stream:fuboTV( )Follow: Latest Odds: Pittsburgh Steelers -14.5 The Steelers opened as a 12-point favorite in this matchup and that advantage has only increased as the week went on. The spread went as high as Steelers -14.5, which was likely off the heels of Ryan Finely being announced as the starter for Cincy. Since then, it’s dipped a half-point and currently sits at Steelers -14 on Monday morning. Pittsburgh does come into this game pretty sluggish. After starting the year 11-0, they’ve lost back-to-back games and have failed to cover in three straight coming into Week 15. also doesn’t have a great track record of being a double-digit favorite. Over his career, the Steelers QB is 12-23-1 ATS as a double-digit favorite and that number only gets more concerning for those betting the Steelers when you account for being a double-digit favorite on the road. Under that circumstance, Big Ben is 2-11 ATS in his career. Last year, Ryan Finley started three games for the Bengals and went 0-3 SU and 1-2 ATS.Projected score: Pittsburgh 24, Cincinnati 14 Latest Ignas Brazdeikis Jersey Odds: Under 40.5 This game total opened at 41.5 and has only dipped as the week progre sed. It has gone down as low as 40 but currently sits at 40-.5 on Monday morning. With a third-string quarterback primed to start for the Bengals, a low projection is expected. That’s also not even accounting for the Steelers historically keeping their road games low-scoring. Over the past five seasons, Pittsburgh road unders have hit 78% of the time. Both teams have gone under in four straight games coming into this matchup with the Steelers averaging 36 total points over their previous four contests while the Bengals are averaging 32 points per game over that same stretch.Projected total: 38O/U 26.5 completionsO/U 39.5 pa s attemptsO/U 279.5 pa sing yardsO/U 2.5 pa sing TDs (Over +135)O/U 0.5 interceptions (Over -110) Cincinnati’s defense isn’t Ben Gedeon Jersey anything to write home about so you could make a case for Big Ben to go over on a number of these props. I am leaning towards the Under, however, on his 2.5 pa sing touchdowns prop. He hasn’t thrown for three-or-more touchdowns since Week 10 when he dropped four scores on this Bengals secondary. This time around, I see Pittsburgh simply going up early and trying to leave this game unscathed, which trends to the veteran quarterback not having that many scoring opportunities to get over this number.O/U 16.5 completionsO/U 32.5 pa s attemptsO/U 190.5 pa sing yardsO/U 0.5 pa sing TDs (Over -180)O/U 1.5 interceptions (Over +140)O/U 9.5 rushing yardsTypically, you wouldn’t have that much intel on a third-string quarterback, but Finley did start three games for the Bengals last season, including a matchup with the Steelers. In that lo s, Finley threw for 192 yards and a touchdown while coughing up a fumble. Even with Cincinnati likely trailing, I don’t expect Zac Taylor to do Finley back more than 30 times in this matchup. In his three starts following Joe Burrow’s season-ending injury, Brandon Allen dropped back to Lamarr Woodley Jersey pa s an average of 28 times per game. With all that in mind, I like the Under on his 32.5 pa s attempts at -125. I’d also put a little something on the Over for his 1.5 interceptions at 1. Jake Long Jersey 5, which is basically just a bet on a Steelers defense that leads the league in picks. Steelers D/ST anytime touchdown (+300). With a defense as opportunistic as Pittsburgh’s and with a thrid-string quarterback under center for Cincinnati, it’d be silly to not sprinkle something on this unit take a turnover to the house. total receptions: Over 2.5 (-140). A younger, inexperienced quarterback tends to lean on his tight end a bit more than the more polished signal-caller, which means Sample could be in for some solid volume. Over his last three games coming into this matchup, the tight end is averaging 4.7 receptions per game. total receptions: Over 5.5 (-105). Smith-Schuster has been one of the more reliable pa s-catchers for Roethlisberger this season and comes into this matchup going over this receptions total in three-straight. He also caught none of his 13 targets against this Cincy secondary back in Week 10.
