Fan Duel: Take the Steelers with the points vs. Browns
Adam Taylor McKillop writes: “Anything can happen on Thursday Night Football, especially when two division rivals clash. Pittsburgh’s rush-defense has the ability to limit Cleveland’s biggest strength in Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. This matchup will come down to Mitchell Trubisky’s performance against a strong Browns secondary, one that ranks eighth in Football Outsiders’ pass-defense DVOA metric. Expect a low scoring affair and the Steelers to hang around until the end.”
Betting News: Browns 24, Steelers 17
Devon Platana writes: “This game should wind up being somewhat close, but I expect that the Browns will cover the 3.5-point spread. Chubb and Hunt will run all over the Steelers, leading to Cleveland controlling the ball for the majority of the contest. I just don’t think Pittsburgh will have an answer for the duo. Even though recent Steelers vs Browns matchups tend to hit the under, I’m taking the over on this prop. The average total of their last five meetings has been 48.2 points, only finishing below 40 points once in that span.”
Fansided: Lean Browns in Thursday Night Football game vs. Steelers
Josh Yourish writes: “Dan Moore Jr. is the left tackle for the Steelers and he has a 78.7 PFF pass blocking grade this season. He had some success dealing with Myles Garrett a year ago, but I don’t trust the Steelers offensive line to hold up. Pittsburgh can’t generate pressure and Cleveland will, in a game that will almost certainly swing on turnovers it looks like it’s advantage Cleveland. I can never take this because I refuse to bet against my team, but Browns -4.5 would be the play. I think after this one, Steelers fans will be dying to see Kenny Pickett out on the field.”
