Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns (CLE -2.5, 41.5) 8:20 PM
The Browns have played three of the toughest defenses in the league in their previous three games against the Patriots, Broncos and the Bills. Now they face the Steelers who lead the league in takeaways with 26. Mayfield is second in the league in interceptions with 12, so he must be in for a tough night against the Steelers. Not so fast. In those 3 difficult matchups, Mayfield has completed 66% of his passes, thrown 4 TDs and 1 INT. This is a Browns team that went in to Baltimore and beat Lamar Jackson and the Ravens handedly and Mason Rudolph just doesn’t scare me. This will only be his second road start and on a short week, I think he struggles. Final Score Prediction: Steelers 16 Browns 23
Bet: CLE -2.5
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Steelers 7 Browns 21
Bonus Prop Bet:
Kind of pricey odds, but if you are looking for a prop tonight, look at Odell Beckham receptions. Right now, it is set at 4.5 with -190 odds. As poor as his season has been, he has been consistent with at least 5 catches in 7 of 9 games this season including in each of his last 4 games.
Bet: Odell Beckham Jr. Over 4.5 receptions
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: 4 Receptions
Today’s Record: 1-1
