The Cleveland Browns will hit the road off a convincing victory and will take on another AFC North foe in NFL Week 2 when they visit Acrisure Stadium to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. The Browns (1-0) eased to a 24-3 victory against the AFC North-rival Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday behind a relentless defense. The Steelers (0-1) were on the opposite side of a strong defensive showing in a 30-7 loss at home to the San Francisco 49ers.
Monday's kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET. Cleveland is a two-point favorite and the over/under for total points scored is 38 in the latest Browns vs. Steelers odds. Before making any Steelers vs. Browns picks of your own, you NEED to check out the NFL predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up more than $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 163-114 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It also is on a 17-7 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is WAY UP.
The model knows the Browns defense put up a strong showing last week, holding Joe Burrow and the Bengals to just 142 total yards. Cincinnati converted just two of 15 third-down attempts, with Myles Garrett and the rest of the front pressuring Burrow constantly. Cleveland rushed for 206 yards, with Nick Chubb finishing with 106 and quarterback Deshaun Watson adding 45 on five carries.
The model also is aware that Pittsburgh will be motivated to atone for a tough opener against one of the NFL's best teams. Kenny Pickett threw for 232 yards and a TD, but threw two interceptions and was sacked five times. T.J. Watt had three sacks against San Francisco, so Watson could be forced into mistakes in the passing game.
