Get set for a crucial AFC North matchup when the Cincinnati Bengals head to Acrisure Stadium for a matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

My Bengals vs. Steelers anytime touchdown picks are headlined by Joe Burrow's favorite target, further detailed in our NFL picks for Saturday, January 3.

It’s plenty of juice to pay for any wager, but Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is worth the squeeze.

The star wideout leads the NFL in targets (161), receptions (117), and touchdown receptions (16). With at least one touchdown reception in three of his last five games and Cincy's season hanging in the balance, the Bengals No. 1 WR is poised to find the end zone again.

Chase and Joe Burrow have connected on four scoring strikes across their last five against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I expect Chase to add to that tally on Saturday.

Jaylen Warren anytime touchdown
+175 at BetMGM

Jaylen Warren is a dual-purpose back who has played a more prominent role this season in the Steelers' passing game. The Oklahoma State product has grabbed 38 of his 46 targets for 310 receiving yards, with an additional 490 yards and one TD coming on the ground.

The last two weeks have seen a slight spike in Warren’s rushing attempts. Warren has reached double-digit carries in each of his previous two starts, and the extra rushing attempts should allow for more opportunities to hit paydirt.

The Bengals have allowed 34 touchdowns from 20 yards in, and Warren has seen more red zone targets than Najee Harris. Take Warren to capitalize against a leaky Bengals defense.
