Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers play on Thursday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium.
With Cincinnati’s defense being one of the worst in the league, this is a prime opportunity for Rodgers to ball out. Read more in my Aaron Rodgers odds analysis and NFL picks for October 16.
Aaron Rodgers prop pick
Aaron Rodgers best bet: Aaron Rodgers Over 216.5 passing yards (-110 at bet365)
The Pittsburgh Steelers are off to an impressive 4-1 start this season with Aaron Rodgers under center. The veteran signal caller has managed to have some success, completing 68.8% of his passes for 1,021 yards and 10 touchdowns against three interceptions.
Pittsburgh takes on a Cincinnati Bengals squad that is 31st in both total yards and passing yards allowed. Rodgers has cashed the Over in passing yards in just two of his five appearances this year, but he most recently threw for 235 yards against the Cleveland Browns.
Rodgers is starting to find a rhythm, and Cincinnati has shown zero ability to slow down opposing quarterbacks. Jordan Love just threw 259 passing yards against them. Rodgers will follow suit on TNF and have a big game through the air.
Aaron Rodgers same-game parlay
Aaron Rodgers Over 216.5 passing yards
Aaron Rodgers Over 1.5 passing TDs
DK Metcalf anytime TD
Rodgers has cashed the Over in TDs in two of his last three contests. He threw for two scores in the Week 6 win over the Browns and again, Cincinnati is a nightmare defensively. They’re giving up 30.5 points per game, which ranks 30th in the NFL.
DK Metcalf may not be putting up massive numbers, but he’s certainly making an impact for his new team. The wideout has a team-high 19 grabs for 356 yards, and most importantly, four touchdowns.
The superstar pass-catcher has a TD in all but one game this season. Even when Metcalf doesn’t reel in a ton of receptions, he’s still finding a way into the end zone. He’ll keep it rolling against a poor opponent.
