Joe Burrow is currently third in MVP odds

The quarterback has the second-best QBR in the league (76.7)
The Bengals still have an outside chance of making the playoffs, thanks to Joe Burrow. Burrow has led this team all season despite having little defensive support.
Cincinnati is coming off a massive win against the Broncos, which kept their playoff chances intact. They must beat the Steelers and have Denver and Miami lose.
This will be very challenging, but it’s still possible. We expect Burrow to have a massive game against his NFC North rival, so we’re attacking the matchup in the prop markets.
FanDuel Sportsbook has same-game parlay boosts for NFL Week 18. We have targeted three props for Burrow on the site. New customers can also get $250 in bonus bets when they wager $5 on the site.
Burrow has been excellent all season and put up massive yardage numbers. He has a tough challenge against the Steelers' defense, but Pittsburgh has fallen apart lately.
The Steelers will make the playoffs but must fight for seeding. They’re currently 10-6 and the fifth seed in the conference, which will result in a date with the Texans.
This is a much more favorable matchup than facing the Bills or Ravens in the Wild Card Round. Even though Pittsburgh will be highly motivated, they shouldn’t have an answer for Burrow.
Patrick Mahomes dominated the Steelers on Christmas Day, and Burrow has been much more dominant through the air in 2024-25.
Burrow was fantastic throwing the ball against the Steelers in their first meeting. He was 28-38 for 309 yards and three touchdowns.
His line is set at 284.5, which is high, but the Bengals are currently highly motivated. They must finish the season with a win to have a playoff chance, so Burrow should show up again.

Burrow has been so good in the pocket that his passing touchdown line is 2.5, and the over is +144. Burrow can hit this mark on any Sunday and has many explosive threats like Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase.
These receivers can hit big plays down the field, resulting in touchdowns. The Bengals rushing attack has been lackluster recently, so they’re a pass-first team around the goal line.
The quarterback has so many chances to exceed three passing touchdowns, and he did it in his first divisional matchup against the Steelers.
Look for the quarterback to continue dominating and hit a significant plus-money prop.

Burrow has been exceptional in creating explosive passing plays. His long pass is set at 38.5, which is very manageable considering the weapons he has on his side.
The quarterback had a long completion of 49 yards in his first meeting with the Steelers. Higgins and Chase are two of the best deep threats in the game.
They also have Chase Brown catching the ball out of the backfield, and the running back is excellent at creating yards after the catch. He has hit 38 yards in two of his past three games, but look for Cincinnati to continue pushing the ball down the field.
Explosive throws early in the game are the best way to beat the Steelers. Burrow should emphasize this from the opening snap.
