The battle for Pennsylvania is on the line when the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles. 

This could be a Super Bowl LIX preview as each team is among the best in their respective conference. Both offenses have plenty of playmakers, making for some intriguing prop bets. Here are our best ones for this huge Week 15 matchup.

*Odds subject to change

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley OVER 12.5 RECEIVING yards (-115) – BetMGM

It's going to be strength versus strength as the NFL's No. 1 rusher Barkley faces the Steelers' No. 4 rushing defense. Barkley is going to get a fair amount of rushing yards, but it seems safer to bet on his potential receiving yards.

The Eagles could look for creative ways to get him the ball other than traditional handoffs against a stout Pittsburgh front seven, and Barkley is an excellent receiving back. He has easily gone over 12 receiving yards in two of his last four games.

Steelers RB Najee Harris ANYTIME touchdown (+135) – FanDuel

Harris isn't the most explosive running back, but he runs hard and is going to get a steady workload as he averages 20 touches per game. With wide receiver George Pickens unlikely to play in this game, the Steelers will lean even more on Harris.

If Pittsburgh gets inside the 10-yard line, pounding Harris into the endzone will be the priority. Harris has scored a touchdown in three of his last five games.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown OVER 5.5 receptions (+108) – FanDuel

Much has been made this past week about Brown's frustration over lack of involvement in Philadelphia's offense. Coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts have supported Brown and should make it a priority to get him the ball more often.

Brown hasn't exactly been unproductive as he has caught at least five passes in four of his last five games. The Eagles will want to keep their star receiver happy, so he should get plenty of targets and produce well against a middling Steelers' pass defense.

Steelers QB Russell Wilson UNDER 1.5 passing touchdowns (-235) – DraftKings

Wilson has been a bit feast or famine as of late and has a very tough matchup against the Eagles' No. 2 ranked pass defense this week. Philadelphia has allowed just 14 passing touchdowns this season, which is the fourth-lowest in the league.

As mentioned above, Pickens will likely miss this game, who is Wilson's top target. The Steelers could emphasize the running game in this matchup, making it tough for Wilson to toss two touchdowns.
