Why bet on Pittsburgh versus Cleveland?

Pittsburgh takes on Cleveland after their bye. Usually, a team playing after a bye doesn’t mean a lot. But the Steelers are a veteran squad. So we must believe the bye allowed them to get healthier. Also, Mike Tomlin is a master coach, which means he’ll land in Cleveland with the perfect game plan to grab a straight up win.

Why bet on Cleveland versus Pittsburgh?

Nick Chubb and Baker Mayfield should play on Sunday. More important than those two? The Browns should get starting tackle Jack Conklin back. Even if Baker doesn’t start, Conklin’s presence will allow Case Keenum, who orchestrated a victory over the Denver Broncos last week, time to throw to Jarvis Landry and possibly Odell Beckham Jr. Conklin is the key. So if he starts, the Browns are likely to cover.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns Final Betting Prediction

Jack Conklin, Nick Chubb, and Baker Mayfield sat out last week’s game versus the Broncos and the Browns still won. The reason that’s important is because even without Conklin, their starting quarterback and starting running back, Cleveland rushed for 182 yards from 33 carries.

Derrick Henry is the best running back in the league. The Browns are the best rushing team in the NFL.

Versus the Broncos, RB3 D’Ernest Johnson rumbled for 146 yards a and a TD from 22 carries. So even if Chubb can’t go, Cleveland will feed Johnson. He should wear down a Pittsburgh defense that might be missing Melvin Ingram III.

Pittsburgh’s rush defense is better than Denver’s. But the Steelers allow 107.7 on the ground each game. Browns covers.
