*NFL odds as of Saturday
The long holiday weekend of professional football gets underway with an NFL Saturday matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers.
In a battle of backup (or even third-string) quarterbacks, the Bengals are 3-point road favorites against the Steelers with the over/under settled at 38.5.
Interestingly, this isn’t just the first NFL game of the weekend, it’s also offering the single biggest betting model edge of the entire Week 16 slate.
NFL Saturday Prediction: Bengals vs. Steelers
Fifty-eight percent of spread tickets have come in on Cincinnati as of the time of writing.
However, the Action Network’s NFL PRO Projections suggest that now is the time to buy back the value with Pittsburgh instead.
While this spread has moved to a consensus of Steelers +3, our betting model projects the game as essentially a pick’em — Pittsburgh +0.2 to be exact — resulting in a beefy 5.7% edge.
In addition, four, yes four, of our top NFL bettors have gotten down on Mike Tomlin’s team as well, adding expert consensus to this Bengals vs. Steelers betting model edge.
One word of caution. While this spread is +3 at most sportsbooks as of the time of writing, there are still a handful stll at +2.5, so be sure to shop for the best line and ensure you’re locking in the full three points at the most advantageous vig available.
