Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers Predictions, Odds, and Best Bets for Week 7 TNF of the 2025-26 NFL Season

The Cincinnati Bengals will host the Pittsburgh Steelers for their Week 7 Thursday Night Football matchup. The Bengals are currently on a 4-game losing streak, after losing their QB1 Joe Burrow to a turf toe injury. While they traded for Joe Flacco from the Cleveland Browns, they still lost against the Green Bay Packers last week, continuing their offensive and defensive struggles.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the best teams in the NFL this season, despite their 25th ranked defense, thanks in part to Aaron Rodgers’ leadership and Pittsburgh being able to put up a lot of points. They have only lost one game so far, and are starting to look like a contender this season, provided that they continue winning.

TNF prep.

Rationale and Analysis

Except for his first game against the Browns, Chasing Brown is likely to remain under 13.5 rushing attempts looking at his previous 4 games where he’s had 10 or below rush attempts. Looking at the Steelers 16th ranking rushing defense, it is safe to assume that Chase Brown may not cross 13.5 attempts.

Jaylen Warren, the RB for the Steelers, is a threat to score at anytime looking at the Bengals 30th ranked scoring defense, and 28th ranked rushing defense. We expect the Steelers to run the football more this game, looking at the Bengals’ horrible defense.

Both teams have glaring defensive issues, with the Steelers’ 25th ranked total defense and the 31st ranked total defense of the Bengals. Bengals have allowed 23 TDs this season, while the Steelers have allowed 12. Both teams have explosive offensive talents and the total TDs should easily go over 4.5.

Bengals vs Steelers Prediction

We expect the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. While both teams are on par in terms of offensive talent, defensively the Steelers are a far better team. Aaron Rodgers should be able to deliver enough scoring, with some defensive help to overcome the Bengals, who are still experimenting with Joe Flacco.

Prediction: Steelers win the game 24-20

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
