These are my key factors in the game tonight between Pittsburgh and Cleveland:

Steelers are 5-4.

Browns are 3-6.

Last week the Steelers had a close home victory against the Rams by a score of 17-12.

Browns won a close game over to the Bills by the score of 19-16.

Browns are the favorite at -3.0.

The over/under total is 41.

The money line is Browns -150 and Steelers +150.

The Browns are the home team.

Steelers have won their last 4 games.

Pittsburgh is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games in Cleveland.

The Steelers are 2nd in the NFL with 26 forced takeaways.

RB James Conner is expected to play after sitting out the last two games with a shoulder injury. Kareem Hunt will help boost the running game for the Browns. This gives Cleveland a 1-2 punch with Nick Chubb as the primary ball carrier. Steelers allow under 4 yards per carry.

A prop bet that looks appealing is rushing yardage of Conner against Chubb. Chubb price is -167 and Conner +131. Kareem Hunt over 47.5 in total yards passing and receiving is a solid play. The number is a favorable -112.

I have a lean toward the Browns to win this game. I will go with laying the number. I am 10-7 in my selections on NFL Monday and Thursday. Since I was away for a week, I will make another lean and take the game over 41.
