Week 7 of the 2025 NFL regular season is upon us, and it is highlighted in part by a Thursday Night Football showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals. It is a rare primetime game for these AFC North rivals and a game where the Steelers could be on upset alert on the road. Here are my Steelers vs Bengals TD scorer best bets for this AFC North matchup on TNF, and also be sure to check out our NFL picks and full Steelers vs Bengals predictions.
Bengals anytime touchdown scorer best bet: Tee Higgins (+220)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Cincinnati’s path to victory in this game can happen in multiple ways, but regardless of how the Bengals go about this contest, they’ll need to have some success through the air. On that front, it’s hard to ignore the value we’re getting with Tee Higgins to find the end zone at over 2-1 odds. The Bengals’ #2 wideout shouldn’t garner much focus in this game, and he was able to establish a good rapport with new quarterback Joe Flacco a week ago. In fact, Higgins turned in his best performance of the season in Flacco’s first outing under center, which gives us confidence in his ability to haul in a few red zone targets on Thursday. Let’s take Higgins to find paydirt for the third time this season.

Steelers anytime touchdown scorer best bet: Kenneth Gainwell (+195)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
On the Pittsburgh side of things, the passing game has been a bit up-and-down to this point, as Aaron Rodgers has only put up 1,021 passing yards through the first 5 games of the campaign. With that in mind, it’s nice to have Kenneth Gainwell as a security blanket for Rodgers and this Pittsburgh passing attack. Just in the last two weeks alone, Gainwell has 12 receptions and has recorded multiple touchdowns. The Bengals defense has been woeful this season, with Cincinnati sitting at 30th in success rate allowed and 29th in EPA per pass allowed on the year. Look for the Steelers’ veteran running back to be targeted on multiple occasions in the red zone in this one, which should give this number some value.
