~DVAXN Group 25 NFL Football Outsiders Powering Rating ~[Cleveland OH] With Bobby Lancer Exclusive ratings~
The Steelers are currently holding down the sixth and final playoff spot in the AFC despite losing starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in Week 1, but their defense has stepped up and scored in three of the past four games. The Steelers gaining 296.1 yards per game and allowing 356.7 yards per game. One of the few constants for Cleveland has been the effectiveness of the running game behind Nick Chubb, who is third in the NFL with 919 yards rushing and eclipsed 100 yards for the fourth time in six games last week. Cleveland is gaining 370.7 yards per game and allowing 374.7 yards per game. Steelers are playing like the '85 (Chicago) Bears, backup quarterback Mason Rudolph said of his defense following Sunday's 17-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams. It seems like, every week, forcing turnovers every other series, it seems like. Cleveland ended a four-game slide by beating Buffalo for its first home win of the season, but Thursday's matchup against a bitter AFC North rival is a must-win affair to keep its playoff hopes alive. The Steelers are averaging scoring 21.4 points per game and allowing an average of 20.1 points per game. The Browns are soring 19 points per game and allowing 24.6 points per game. Joining the backfield mix last Sunday after serving an eight-game suspension was former Kansas City star running back Kareem Hunt, a former 1,000-yard rusher who picked up 30 yards on the ground and added seven receptions for 44 yards in his season debut.

~Steelers vs Browns Stats~
- Pittsburgh is averaging 21.4 points per game [PPG] this season [ No.19 in the NFL
- Pittsburgh is surrendering 20.1 PPG this season (No. 10 in the NFL).
- Cleveland is averaging 19.0 PPG this season (No. 26 in the NFL).
- Cleveland is surrendering 24.6 PPG this season (No. 21 in the NFL).
- Pittsburgh defeated the Los Angeles Rams 17-12, at home in Week 10.
- Cleveland defeated the Buffalo Bills 19-16, at home in Week 10.
This game is a major fade, and ATS will caution those who assume the Steelers are going to win this game or cover the spread, simply because they have won 4 games in a row. Offensively if you go position by position, the Browns have the better offense by far and although the edge goes to the defense defensively, the Browns have some playmakers as well. This is the perfect “get back” game — This game should go over the total with both teams scoring 20 more points.. My Bet Over 40 1/2 points
