2 Reasons Why the Steelers Will Cover -7
1. Browns: Playing Amid Chaos
Cleveland fans deserve a medal. Watching Jameis Winston quarterback this team is like watching a magician who might pull a rabbit out of a hat — or maybe kill it by accident. Winston throws for 400-yard games and dazzles with deep bombs. Next, he’s gift-wrapping pick-sixes like it’s Christmas morning.

Check out some of Winston’s numbers in NFL player props. He has odds of -228 to throw at least one interception on Sunday.
But let’s be fair: the Browns’ issues run deeper than Winston’s interceptions. Nick Chubb, the backbone of their offense, hasn’t looked like himself in weeks, and the offensive line has been as leaky as a Dollar Store umbrella. Their defense, which can be elite at times, seems to disappear when it matters most — like in last week’s 41-32 shootout loss to Denver.
And then there’s third down. Per Browns vs Steelers betting tips, Cleveland is converting just 25% of its third downs and is dead last in the league. If the Browns can’t sustain drives, this game could get ugly in a hurry.
2. Mike Tomlin +425 in Coach of Year Odds
You haven’t been paying attention if Mike Tomlin isn’t your Coach of the Year favorite. The Steelers have clinched their 18th straight non-losing season under Tomlin, and they’ve done it with a roster that’s more grit than glamour. Tomlin is the third betting choice in NFL futures odds at +425 to win NFL Coach of the Year.
No, this isn’t a team with Patrick Mahomes or Tyreek Hill-level star power, but the Steelers have something better: the ability to win ugly games.
And then there’s Russell Wilson. Yes, Russell Wilson, the guy everyone thought was washed last year, is quietly playing like his old self. He shredded the Bengals for 414 yards last week and has been carving up defenses with the efficiency of a chef at Benihana.
Wilson could have another field day against a Browns secondary that gives up chunk plays like candy on Halloween.

On the defensive side, the Steelers are as ferocious as ever. T.J. Watt continues terrorizing offensive lines, and their unit leads the league in takeaways. Winston will need a miracle—or at least some extra sticky gloves on his receivers—to avoid giving the Steelers prime scoring opportunities.

Betting Pick: Steelers -7
Let’s talk about revenge. Losing to Cleveland in Week 12 was bad enough, but doing it in prime time during a snowstorm? That’s the kind of loss that sticks in your craw. Expect Pittsburgh to come out swinging, especially after flexing their offensive muscles in last week’s 44-38 victory over the Bengals to not only cover the NFL spread as underdogs but win outright.
Cleveland’s defense has struggled to stop deep passing plays, which plays right into the hands of Wilson and Pittsburgh’s receiving corps. And while Nick Chubb is usually Cleveland’s X-factor, Pittsburgh’s run defense has been nearly impenetrable.
Per NFL betting trends, the Steelers are giving up just 91.6 rushing yards per game, which is good for fourth-best in the league. If Cleveland can’t establish the run, it’ll be up to Winston to sling the ball — and we all know how that usually ends.
Meanwhile, the Steelers’ offensive line has improved and their ground game is coming to life. Najee Harris may not be breaking records, but he’s doing enough to keep defenses honest, which opens up the play-action game for Wilson.
Add in a home crowd ready to scream itself hoarse, and it’s hard to see the Browns keeping this one close in NFL expert picks against the spread.
