Game review
The AFC North division loss will kick off Week 12 on Thursday night when the 8-2 Steelers travel to Cleveland to take on the 2-8 Browns.
After impressive back-to-back wins over top teams in both conferences, the Steelers head into their schedule with serious momentum. Pittsburgh is 5-0 against the spread on a five-game winning streak, including three wins as an underdog.
Mike Tomlin’s defense is playing out of its depth, as evidenced by its impressive performances over the past two weeks in which they have held the NFL’s two best offenses – Baltimore and Washington – to just 5.2 yards per play and a completion percentage of 32.0%. The Steelers also forced the Ravens into three turnovers last week, including Payton Wilsonincredible interception, stripping Justice Hill on a proposed 30-yard wheel route that could create Lamar Jackson and the company is in the black.

While the Browns’ successes this season are few and far between – especially after they lost by 21 points to New Orleans last week despite being a 1-point road favorite – it’s not too much a long way from beating the vaunted Ravens, 29-24, in Week 8. Cleveland limited Baltimore to just two of 10 third-down conversions and forced a pair of turnovers on downs.
Offensive consistency has been an issue, to varying degrees, for both of these franchises. In the always strong AFC North, this game could end up being closer than expected.
WR Jerry Judy, Cleveland Browns: Over 45.5 receiving + rushing yards (-115) – PFF betting model has a 1.9% edge.
Since arriving in Cleveland this offseason, Thursday struggled for consistent hitting and production amid Cleveland’s offensive shortcomings. However, the situation has changed in recent weeks after Amari Cooperdeparture And Deshaun Watsoninjury.
Through Jeudy’s first seven games, he averaged just 0.96 yards per carry en route to a 62.6 PFF grade. In his next three games, the talented receiver averaged 1.97 yards per carry and earned a PFF grade of 71.5, thanks in part to desire Jameis Winston target your boyfriend through small windows. This resurgence has allowed Jeudy to surpass that yardage mark in each of the last three games.
The Steelers defense is not to be trifled with, but it has lost several receivers in recent weeks. While they held Baltimore receivers below that mark last week, they allowed five receivers to surpass it in the previous three games, including a pair of 100-yard games.
