Titans @ Steelers tips, picks and prop bets: Derrick Henry, Will Levis and George Pickens
PIttsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett
The Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) play host to the Tennesse Titans (3-4) live on Thursday night football (0015 GMT Friday).
The Titans and the Steelers clash in a must-win match to kickstart Week 9 of the NFL season.
Titans @ Steelers game pick
The Pittsburgh Steelers have won two of three to move into the win column and crucially, one of those wins came against the AFC North leaders Baltimore.
Those two sides will meet again at season's end and the Ravens face a tough test against the Seahawks on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans have lost all three of their road trips and stand little chance of catching the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Titan’s starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill is out here and that puts an immense amount of pressure on Will Levis.
Pittsburgh are a dominant defence and they’re going to blitz, blitz, blitz again and blitz some more.
The Titans are going to have an extremely tough time moving the ball not only does that give the hosts the upper hand, but it also points toward a low-scoring game.
Bet: Pittsburgh Steelers -3 / Under 37 points
Titans @ Steelers prop bets
Levis is going to find himself under real pressure and there will be times he’s forced to scramble, so we’re willing to bet he can rack up a few yards.
Prop: Will Levis Over 10.5 rushing yards
This is not a game for fans of touchdowns. It’s grit your teeth and just get through it sort of game, which is what Levis will struggle to do.
Prop: Will Levis Under 204.5 passing yards
Keeping the focus on the Titans, Derrick Henry has already attempted 120 carries through seven games. He’s averaging 75 rushing yards per game and they may need to lean on him.
Prop: Derrick Henry Over 72.5 rushing yards
It’s tough to pick out a touchdown scorer but George Pickens has been targetted 53 times for the Steelers and has three to his name this season. Kenny Pickett should look for him again.
