Steelers open as 2.5-point underdogs to the Browns

Despite winning four in a row and sitting at 5-4, the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t seem to be getting much respect from oddsmakers this week. Pittsburgh travels to Cleveland this week to take on the 3-6 Browns and in spite of all that, Bet MGM has the Browns as 2.5-point favorites over the Steelers.

This is despite the fact the Steelers have absolutely owned this rivalry. Since 2000, the Steelers lead the series 33-5-1. The Steelers haven’t lost to the Browns since 2014. But there are still some still clinging to all the preseason hype surrounding the Browns when they were going to dominate the AFC North and this new-look roster would be a force to be reckoned with.

The Browns are coming off of a 19-16 win over the Buffalo Bills while the Steelers beat the Los Angeles Rams 17-12.
