Steelers at Browns Week 12 picks and predictions
Moneyline: Steelers -200
The Steelers are playing great ball right now and shut down the league’s top offense last week. Quarterback Jameis Winston is giving the Browns better play at the position than they were getting with Deshaun Watson, but they have a combined 24 points in their last two games.
Spread: Steelers -3.5 (-110)
The Browns have not lost by fewer than four points in their sight losses this season.
Total: Under 37 (-115)
This has the feel of a 24-10 game. The Steelers will keep the Browns to about 10 points.
