\"Cincinnati<\/a>
Cincinnati receiver A.J. Green is one of many players with props available against Pittsburgh in the playoffs Saturday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let’s take a look at some of the team and player props for the second Wild Card game of the weekend between AFC North rivals the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n

Which team scores first? (Pittsburgh -130 \/ Cincinnati +100)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pittsburgh is a 3 point favorite on the road. I think they score first in the game.<\/p>\n

Will either team score three straight times? (Yes -225 \/ No +175)<\/strong><\/p>\n

These teams just played last month. Despite losing quarterback Andy Dalton early in the game to a broken thumb, Cincinnati never trailed by more than 16 points. Dalton is still out and back-up A.J. McCarron has done a serviceable job as his replacement. I think no is a good bet for this prop.<\/p>\n

Will either team make a field goal of 44 yards or more? (Yes -115 \/ No -115)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both kickers have strong legs. Pittsburgh’s Chris Boswell has made 11\/14 from beyond 40 yards and Cincinnati’s Mike Nugent is 12\/16. I like over yes for this prop.<\/p>\n

Will either team make a field goal of under 25 yards? (No -125 \/ Yes -105)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can see a couple of drives stalling in the red zone. I like yes in this prop.<\/p>\n

Which team will score the longest touchdown? (Pittsburgh -145 \/ Cincinnati +115)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Antonio Brown for Pittsburgh and A.J. Green for Cincinnati are two of the most explosive wide receivers in football. Still, I like Pittsburgh to have the longest touchdown with Ben Roethlisberger throwing the ball.<\/p>\n

Will there be a one yard touchdown scored in the game? (Yes -115 \/ No -115)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think No is a good play for this prop with two explosive offenses.<\/p>\n

Longest touchdown in the game (Over 43 1\/2 -115 \/ Under 43 1\/2 -115)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both teams have injuries to key players. Notably, Dalton and Pittsburgh running back DeAngelo Williams will miss the game. I like under 43.5 yards for this prop.<\/p>\n

Will the first TD be receiving or any other? (Receiving -195 \/ Other +160)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This looks like something to take a chance on. You get a rushing touchdown, plus defensive and special teams touchdowns.\u00a0 That seems like pretty good odds at +160.<\/p>\n

Pass completions by Ben Roethlisberger (under 25 -160 \/ over 25 +130)<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Williams out for Pittsburgh, the Steelers will start Fitzgerald Toussaint at running back. I think Roehtlisberger will throw the ball a bunch of times and I would go with over 25 completions.<\/p>\n

Passing yards by Roethlisberger (over 302 -115 \/ under 302 -115)<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the same reason, I like over 302 yards.<\/p>\n

Antonio Brown receiving yards (over 105 -120 \/ under 105 -110)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like Brown to have a huge game with over 105 receiving yards.<\/p>\n

Total Pass Completions by Cincinnati QB (over 21 -120 \/ under 21 -110)<\/strong><\/p>\n

When this prop came out there was an outside shot Dalton could return, but he was ruled out yesterday. McCarron will start. I like under in this prop.<\/p>\n

Will Cincinnati’s quarterback throw an interception? (Yes -185 \/ No +155)<\/strong><\/p>\n

McCarron has done a decent job taking care of the ball in the 3+ games he has played since Dalton’s injury. I like No for this prop.<\/p>\n

A.J. Green total receptions (over 5 -125 \/ under 5 -105)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Green has 86 catches this season so over 5 seems pretty safe.<\/p>\n

Tyler Eifert receiving yards (over 42 -115 \/ under 42 -115)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like the Cincinnati tight end to have over 42 receiving yards. He has proven to be a reliable red zone target with 13 touchdowns.<\/p>\n
