- The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals meet on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 7
- This feels like a great opportunity for us to throw together a little SGP for the vibes
- See below to find my favorite Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cincinnati Bengals same-game parlay for Oct. 16
Thursday night football was given to us by God because he thought we were such good football fans that we deserved an extra night of football. We can all agree with that decision. I’m old enough to remember when we didn’t have Thursday Night Football, so you can trust me when I say we need these games. Having to wait all the way from Monday to Sunday for NFL Football is something I wish on no one. I don’t even know how I made it without the Thursday games if we’re being honest. Some people didn’t. The best way I know of to keep these Thursday Night games coming is to bet on them. We can’t let these guys go out there and play for nothing. Lucky for us, I’ve already found the perfect SGP for tonight. We’re blessed.
Steelers vs Bengals Same-Game Parlay
The two legs of this PIT/CIN same-game parlay – which are both -220 or shorter – spit out a +143 SGP at FanDuel. Check out SBD’s guide to learn about SGP betting for NFL.

Steelers vs Bengals SGP Leg #1 – DK Metcalf Is a Problem
Here’s the thing with DK Metcalf: he hasn’t really been good this season. Anyone who has watched a Pittsburgh Steelers football game can tell you that. He legit never gets separation, and the Steelers offense doesn’t really seem to want to throw the ball much. It’s a tough scene.
Still, even with almost no separation and an anemic offense, DK has produced fantasy points, which is crazy.
Anyone with at least one eyeball and a semi-functioning brain will tell you that DK can’t keep producing in this environment. That’s obvious. But is this the week where he doesn’t go for at least 50+ receiving yards? I mean, he’s gone for 80+ receiving yards in three of his five games this season, aided at least one 25+ yard reception in all three of those games. I feel like we just need a big play and we’re good.
Tonight, DK will see the Bengals, who are like the Oprah of big plays in the receiving game. Everybody gets one. We’re talking 24 20+ yard pass plays allowed so far this season. The Bengals play zone at a very high rate, which is the coverage we want for DK, since he can’t separate from anyone. The man is averaging 20 yards a reception this season against zone coverage. He’s going 50+ tonight. Feels easy.

PIT vs CIN Same-Game Parlay Leg #2 – Ja’Marr Chase Might Set a Record Tonight
I saved the best for last in this thing, so hats off to me for that. Nobody wants to read the best part first. If we did it like that, nobody would read the second part. It wouldn’t even make sense to read it because we already read the best part. It makes sense when you think about it. Even if you don’t think about it.
Of all the guys playing tonight, the best one to bet on is Ja’Marr Chase. He’s an all-time guy.
Everybody knows the Bengals are in quarterback hell right now. Joe Burrow got hurt, Jake Browning couldn’t hang, and now they have Joe Flacco slinging rocks for them. It’s a whole thing. But every dark tunnel has a light of hope, and Ja’Marr has been that light for the Bengals. Even through all the madness that has been the last couple of weeks, Chase has turned in back-to-back 90+ yard receiving yard games. The man can’t be stopped.
We can expect more of the same tonight against Pittsburgh because, if we’re being honest, the Steelers are going to score on the Bengals’ defense. Once that happens, Old Man Flacco will be forced to sling more rocks, and he will no doubt be looking for Chase. The strategy should work too because it has worked for everyone else. Justin Jefferson baptized these same Steelers, and so did Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Garrett Wilson. Chase is free tonight, people. Feels easy.
