The Cincinnati Bengals remain a longshot to sneak their way into the playoffs, and to keep the dream alive, they must handle their business against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have already clinched a postseason berth.

Our Bengals vs. Steelers parlay likes Cincinnati’s chances to extend hope into Sunday’s slate, and we're expecting them to do it in true Bengals fashion: a high-scoring affair.

With plenty of offense expected, we have a tasty plus-money player prop to drive our SGP odds to +675.

The action kicks off on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN), and it's just a small part of our NFL Week 18 predictions.

Bengals -2.5 (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Following a tough loss to the Steelers on the first day of December, the Bengals have been on a warpath to keep their season alive. Saturday is the last opportunity to make their mark.

  • Cincinnati has won four straight games, clearing a 2.5-point margin of victory in each
  • The Steelers have lost their last three games, all by 14-plus points
  • Pittsburgh is averaging 13.3 points per game over that stretch

The Bengals are -2.5 across all of our best sports betting sites, with odds ranging from -106 (FanDuel) to -115 (BetMGM).

Over 48.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’ll probably see the defenses feign a bit more resistance than the first meeting between these divisional rivals, but with how the Cincinnati offense is rolling, we still like the points on Saturday night.

  • The earlier matchup between the Bengals and Steelers ended 44-38 (82 total points)
  • 11 out of 16 Bengals games this season have cleared 48.5 total points
  • Cincinnati hasn’t scored fewer than 24 points in a game since October, and its past eight contests over that span have averaged 59 total points

With the total sitting at 48.5 across our best sports betting apps, there’s no edge to be gleaned by line shopping for this particular leg of the SGP.

Warren Over 3.5 receptions (+135) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

In conjunction with our Bengals spread bet, we’ll cap this parlay by plugging in a Steelers Over prop for a contrarian boost to the value of our SGP.

  • Jaylen Warren has reeled in five receptions in consecutive games heading into Week 18
  • He has cleared the 3.5 receptions mark in four of his last seven contests as his usage has increased in the second half of the year
  • Against the Bengals last month, Warren snagged four receptions, clearing this total in that matchup

With the Warren prop, our SGP odds increase to +625 at both DratKings and Caesars, but BetMGM offers the best value among our top sportsbooks with odds at +675.

A winning $10 wager on this parlay at BetMGM would profit $67.50 as part of your Week 18 NFL predictions.
