Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers Preview & Picks

Cleveland are backed to cover as they win this AFC North showdown.

Pittsburgh’s offense had a rough Week 1 and it will not get any easier against Myles Garrett & Co.

The Browns just dominated Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, and more the same is predicted here.

  • Cleveland Browns beat Cincinnati by 21 points in Week 1
  • Pittsburgh Steelers lost to San Francisco by 23 points last week
  • The Under has hit in 7 of Cleveland’s last 8 games
  • The Under has cashed in 5 of Pittsburgh’s last 7 games

Head To Head

  • Pittsburgh Steelers lead the all-time series 80-62-1
  • Pittsburgh Steelers won 28-14 when the teams last met on January 8

Cleveland Browns Form

Cleveland made an impressive start to the season as they dominated a divisional rival on opening weekend.

The Browns came into the 2023 season with the intention of rebounding from a 2022 campaign that saw them go 7-10.

They certainly made a statement in Week 1 as they dominated the Cincinnati Bengals in a 24-3 victory.

Cleveland’s offense controlled the clock with a dominant run game that saw Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford and Elijah Moore combined for 206 yards on the ground.

And on the opposite side of the football the Browns defense dominated, holding Joe Burrow to just 82 yards passing while sacking him twice.

Pittsburgh Steelers Form

Pittsburgh come into this game looking to bounce back from a miserable performance on opening weekend.

The Steelers missed out on a playoff place last season, despite a late flurry improving them to 9-8, and a big reason for their failure to make the postseason was their bad start.

They went 3-7 through their first 10 games of 2022, and they now find themselves having to rebound from a 0-1 start in 2023.

Pittsburgh hosted San Francisco in Week 1 and were blown out 30-7 by the 49ers.

The Steelers failed to get the run game going, and quarterback Kenny Pickett was picked off twice and sacked five times in the loss.

Verdict

Pittsburgh’s offense got nothing going in Week 1 and they could be in for another rough game here.

Cleveland’s defense dominated Cincinnati a week ago and are likely to be in Kenny Pickett’s face all game long.
