2025 TNF Same-Game Parlay: Steelers at Bengals
The AFC North is on display for Thursday Night Football Week 7, with Joe Flacco and the Cincinnati Bengals hosting Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The key this week will be improvement for the Bengals’ offence as Flacco becomes more comfortable with the playbook. Flacco looked a lot better in the second half of last week’s loss against the Packers and started developing some early chemistry with Ja’Marr Chase.
When it comes to Pittsburgh, Mike Tomlin has struggled in Thursday night games, posting losing career records both straight up and against the spread. In fact, Tomlin is just 2-9 SU in his last 11 Thursday road games.
I still think the Steelers pull out a win, I just don’t think it will be a blowout.
In this week’s Thursday Night Football parlay I’m focusing on a solid game from both quarterbacks.
You can take a look at our full breakdown and score prediction here.
Here’s what I have for a five-leg parlay priced at +575:
- Steelers moneyline (-250)
- Aaron Rodgers 200+ passing yards (-295)
- Aaron Rodgers Over 1.5 passing TDs (-140)
- Joe Flacco 200+ passing yards (-325)
- Joe Flacco Over 1.5 passing TDs (+145)

Pittsburgh Steelers moneyline
Pittsburgh is still the better team in this spot and Aaron Rodgers remains productive at 41-years-old. Flacco will likely show some improvement with another week in Cincinnati’s system under his belt, but the Bengals’ defence isn’t good enough to keep pace with Rodgers and co.
Aaron Rodgers 200+ passing yards, Over 1.5 passing TDs
Rodgers has been a good fit in Pittsburgh and remains productive with at least 200 passing yards in four of five games this season. He’s averaging 244.2 passing yards per game and he’ll be up against the Bengals defensive unit which is rank second-last against the pass.
Rodgers has a 10-3 TD-INT ratio on the season, passing for multiple TDs in three games. Cincinnati has also given allowed 13 passing TDs this season, tied for the fourth-worst mark in the NFL.
Joe Flacco 200+ passing yards, Over 1.5 passing TDs
Starting for the Bengals just five days after he was traded to Cincinnati, Flacco managed to produce 219 passing yards and two TDs in a loss to a tough Packers team. He’s now averaging 206.8 passing yards per game this season split between the Bengals and Browns.
After the team was shutout in the first two quarters last week, Flacco looked a lot better in the second half, hitting Chase and Tanner Hudson with TD passes. He also knows Tomlin and the Steelers well having spent 14 seasons in the AFC North split between Baltimore, Cleveland and Cincinnati.
