NFL Week 1 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Steelers vs. Bengals

We are getting some longer odds with this prop as the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals as six-and-a-half-point underdogs. Likely to have a little bit of that infamous “Super Bowl loss hangover” in Week 1, Cincinnati may not have the sharpest start in this game.

While the Steelers will probably have a tough year due to a highly questionable pass offense, nobody is concerned about the potential of Najee Harris and his running ability. Because of the lack of weapons offensively, Harris should once again be the workhorse of this team.

Last season, Harris led the entire league in touches (381) and was second in rush attempts. While their O-Line was not very good, Harris’ talent was still able to propel him to finish fourth in rushing yards (1,200) and yards from scrimmage (1,667).

Even if the Bengals get the ball first, Pittsburgh’s defensive line can tame their immense talent. According to PFF, the Steelers enter the season with the fourth-best defensive line, led by the best edge-rusher in football, T.J. Watt.

First Touchdown Scorer: Najee Harris (+800)
