A week 10 rematch, where the Pittsburg Steelers won handily 36-10 at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. Third-string quarterback Ryan Finley will start, due to injuries to Joe Burrow and back-up Brandon Allen. Despite the Steelers losing 2 of their last 3 games, I expect a big bounceback game against a Bengals team that has scored 10 or fewer points in 4 out of 5 games. This should be a lower scoring game, evidenced by a 40.5 over/under at the time of writing.

Monday Night Football Best Bets: First Half Spread Steelers -6.5 (-122)
I don’t see how the Bengals score double-digit points in this game, and I like the Steelers to go into half-time with a touchdown or more lead.

Player Prop Bet: Benny Snell over 53.5 rushing yards (-110).
With James Conner ruled out, Benny Snell should get plenty of attempts. In a game script where the Steelers should establish a big lead, I can see them running the ball in the second half of the game.

First Touchdown Scorer: you can make an argument for any Pittsburg pass-catcher, as Claypool scored 2 touchdowns, while Smith-Schuster and Johnson each tallied a touchdown in their week 10 meeting against Cincinnati. I like sprinkling smaller wagers on all three receivers, who offer payouts of +750, +800, and +900 respectively.
