Steelers at Browns: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Browns 27, Steelers 13

Money line (?)

The Browns (-450) are overwhelming favorites against a Steelers side which will be a shell of itself with plenty of players rested, and others out due to COVID protocols. There is no excuse for the Browns not to get the win against this subpar group of reserves from Pittsburgh, but they’re still the Browns. Nothing is ever easy.

AVOID.

Against the spread (?)

The BROWNS -9.5 (-110) are just 2-3 ATS as favorites of 6 or more points this season, and this is their biggest number of the season. Cleveland is expected to win and punch its ticket to the postseason, and it should be able to do it by more than two scores.

Over/Under (?)

UNDER 43.5 (-110) is the lean here, as the Pittsburgh offense will not be terribly deep, and Cleveland’s strength is in the run game. Under bettors love running teams, because they keep the clock moving.
