Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns Predictions & Picks

Pittsburgh are tipped to follow up Sunday’s surprise win over Cincinnati.

The Steelers’ changes on the offensive line have brought improvement to that unit, while on the opposite side this defense should be able to keep Deshaun Watson and the Browns in check. 
  • Pittsburgh Steelers won their AFC North opener last Sunday
  • Pittsburgh Steelers are 5-2-0 ATS in their last 7 division games
  • These two offenses are scoring a combined 35.6 points per game
  • The Under cashed in both of last season’s meetings

Head To Head

  • Pittsburgh Steelers lead the all-time series 83-65-1
  • Cleveland Browns won 13-6 when the two teams last met in December 2025

Pittsburgh Steelers Form

Pittsburgh head out on the road looking to follow up a big division win that improved their record to 2-1.

The Steelers kicked off the season with a 20-13 victory over Atlanta, but failed to follow that up a week later as they were beaten 20-3 at New England.

They issued the perfect response though, as they upset AFC North rivals Cincinnati 30-27 last Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers went 19/34 for 292 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, but the star of the show was running back Jaylen Warren.

Warren rushed for 127 yards off 17 carries, and also played a part in the passing game as he made three catches for 49 yards.

Cleveland Browns Form

Cleveland go into this Thursday night matchup having rebounded from an opening day defeat with back-to-back victories.

The Browns opened up with a 34-10 defeat in Jacksonville, only to rebound with a surprise 23-19 victory when they visited Tampa Bay.

They then followed that up last weekend as they edged past Carolina in their home opener, winning 21-18.

Deshaun Watson went 16/30 for 144 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 45 yards off 11 carries.

Harold Fannin hauled in those two touchdown passes, while Quinshon Judkins rushed for 70 yards off 18 carries.

Verdict

Going out on the road after a short week is tough, but Pittsburgh will be buoyed from that superb win over Cincinnati.

The Steelers can follow that up here, but on a short week on the road, this may be more of a grind than a scoring sprint.
