Best Thursday Night Football Player Props Week 7 | Steelers vs Bengals Prop Picks

Steelers vs Bengals Player Props for Week 7!

Week 7 of the 2025 NFL season kicks off with a primetime Steelers vs Bengals AFC North showdown on Thursday Night Football. Sportmemo’s Steve Seagrave is eyeing the top player props for Week 7, with star names like Tee Higgins and DK Metcalf featured in the spotlight.

From receiving yards to touchdown props, we break down the latest odds, betting lines, and prop markets for Steelers vs Bengals to help you get an edge on opening night.

NFL Thursday Night Football Props Prediction: Tee Higgins, Bengals OVER 45.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

The Cincinnati Bengals have struggled to run the ball behind a horrible offensive line, and they should look to exploit the Pittsburgh Steelers through the air as they have allowed 6th most passing yards with 245 per game.

Last week, Tee Higgins caught 5 of 8 targets for 62 yards in Joe Flacco’s first start with the Bengals. The Bengals basically abandoned the running game in Week 6 as they opted to pass on 45 of 61 plays.

Higgins has thrived in head-to-head matchups against the Steelers with 53+ receiving yards in four straight games and 5 of his 6 career games.

Pittsburgh has already allowed five wide receivers eclipse this line in the 2025 campaign including Garrett Wilson (95), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (103), Cooper Kupp (90), Jordan Addison (114) and Justin Jefferson (126).

Higgins has covered this number in 12 of his last 17 games for a 71% success rate and I’m banking on him getting the job done against Pittsburgh.

NFL Thursday Night Football Props Prediction: DK Metcalf, Steelers Anytime Touchdown (+145)

DK Metcalf has scored a touchdown in four straight games while logging an NFL-high 11.6 yards after the catch per reception.

Metcalf has become Aaron Rodgers go-to-guy as he’s stacked a team high 31 targets with a ridiculous 23.1% target share.

The Cincinnati Bengals defense has been vulnerable against the ground game, but they have been even worse against the oppositions aerial attack as they have allowed the 2nd most passing yards with 258.5 per game.

The Bengals also rank 26th in PFF coverage grade with the 5th worst DVOA against the pass and opposing wide receivers have averaged 8.36 yards per target against them.

Cincinnati has allowed 158 adjusted receiving yards per game to opposing wide outs and that the 9th most in the NFL.

Rodgers will continue to look in Metcalf’s direction, and I don’t see this Bengals defense putting up much of a fight.
