Best Titans-Steelers prop bets today: DeAndre Hopkins, George Pickens among top Week 9 TNF parlay picks image

The Titans and Steelers will kick off Week 9 of the 2023 NFL season in Pittsburgh on "Thursday Night Football" (8:15 p.m. ET, Amazon Prime). As always, even with a low expected point total, TNF brings us several good props to consider on SuperDraft, especially with some skill players on the field.

It's easy to get in on the action. If you successfully hit on two player props, you get 3x return. That exponentially grows all the way to 100x return for parlaying eight correct picks together at much longer odds. In other words, if you put down a $20 entry fee on our four props below and they all hit, you get paid $200. 

Whether you're going with a two-legged parlay or stringing together three-plus props, here are our four favorite SuperDraft plays for the interconference matchup between Tennessee and Pittsburgh.

Best Titans-Steelers prop bets: SuperDraft player prop picks for Week 9 TNF

*10x potential payout if users parlay all four correct picks

1. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Titans — OVER 54.5 receiving yards

Hopkins exploded old-school in QB Will Levis' debut vs. the Falcons, catching four-of-six targets for 129 yards and three TDs. He won't go off like that again with Levis facing pressure from a much better pass rush, but he should be able to dust fellow future Hall-of-Famer Patrick Peterson. Peterson has slowed down outside and inside during his first season in Pittsburgh, while Hopkins showed off his downfield speed vs. tough A.J. Terrell. Hopkins gets a break working away from rising rookie Joey Porter Jr.

2. Najee Harris, RB, Steelers — OVER 45.5 rushing yards

The Titans' run defense was a brick wall earlier in the season, but there have been some holes in it of late. On top of that, the Titans don't give up much receiving production to the position (so no Jaylen Warren, please). Harris won't go off because he never does, as the Steelers' shaky run blocking doesn't help much, but he can get enough volume in a low-scoring game that the Steelers should grind out. Hitting a half-century for Harris isn't too hard, given he did it in three-of-four games before facing the Jaguars in Week 8.

3. Diontae Johnson, WR, Steelers — OVER 58.5 receiving yards

Now fully healthy again, Johnson is coming off a 14-target game in which he caught eight passes for 85 yards against the Jaguars. He has a plus matchup against either Kristian Fulton or Sean Murphy-Bunting this week, and his route-running, hands, and quickness are key to getting young QB Kenny Pickett into a rhythm. The Titans have given up significant yardage to a pair of wideouts in many matchups this season, which leads into the last parlay pick.

4. George Pickens, WR, Steelers — OVER 54.5 receiving yards

Pickens caught a lone pass on his five targets in Week 8, but he made it count with a 22-yard TD reception. Before then, he posted more than 100 yards against the Rams and Ravens. He also had 75 yards in his last prime-time shot against the Raiders on a Sunday night. With Pickett (ribs) under center, we like Pickens to grind out an OVER on this modest total.
