The Pittsburgh Steelers (3-3) hit the road in Week 8 to face the AFC North division-rival Cleveland Browns (4-3) Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET and will be televised on CBS. Below, we look at the Steelers vs. Browns odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Steelers have won consecutive games for the first time this season. Last time out they posted a 23-20 overtime win against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6 prior to their bye. However, Pittsburgh is just 1-4 ATS across its last five games.
The Browns posted a 17-14 win over the Denver Broncos last Thursday in Week 7 behind backup QB Case Keenum, with QB Baker Mayfield resting his injured non-throwing shoulder. Mayfield is set to return this week, as is RB Nick Chubb, who missed the last two weeks.

Steelers at Browns odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Steelers 22, Browns 16
Money line
STEELERS (+170) is a great value on the road against the banged-up Browns. Cleveland has RB Kareem Hunt on IR, Chubb returning from injury and who knows what it’s going to get from Mayfield.
QB Ben Roethlisberger has been better lately after a slow start. He completed a season-best 72.5 percent of his passes in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Against the spread
The STEELERS +4.5 (-115) have dominated this series against the number over the years. While Pittsburgh is just 1-4 ATS in the past five games overall, it is 25-9-2 ATS in its last 36 as an underdog. Health is important too, and the Steelers just aren’t as banged up in the skill positions as the Browns.
Over/Under
The UNDER 41.5 (-108) is the lean, but it’s only worth a small-unit play. The Under has connected in six of the last eight meetings between these two teams in Cleveland, and the Under is 7-2-1 in the last 10 for the Steelers as road underdogs.
