Dan Karpuc: Steelers +4.5
After the Browns choked in Week 2 against the Jets, I can't trust them again. Not only that, but under coach Kevin Stefanski, Cleveland has gone just 2-11 ATS against division opponents. That doesn't bode well for them heading into this matchup, nor does the fact that Mike Tomlin has gone 44-27 ATS as an underdog while at the helm of the Steelers. Before he gets benched for rookie Kenny Pickett, I expect Mitch Trubisky to get more aggressive, which is something he hasn't done in the first two weeks, going just 42-for-71 passing for 362 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Baker Mayfield had a few chunk plays against this Browns defense in Week 1 and then Joe Flacco torched the Cleveland secondary at the end of their implosion in Week 2, so I expect Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool and/or George Pickens to get behind the defense at least once. At this point, I trust Pittsburgh's defense much more tha n Cleveland's, even without T.J. Watt. Give me the Steelers +4.5.
