In the Week 18 regular-season finale, the Cleveland Browns (7-9) travel to meet the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-8) at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s'lines around the Browns vs. Steelers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Browns have won 4 of the last 6 games, while also going 4-2 ATS during the stretch. Cleveland hasn’t slowed down despite being eliminated from the postseason chase on Dec. 24 with a home loss to the New Orleans Saints.
After reportedly asking out of last week’s game, and criticizing the coaching staff publicly, DE Jadeveon Clowney has been ruled out for the finale, and his tenure with the team is more than likely over.
The Steelers are still alive for a playoff spot, although Pittsburgh needs help to get in. First and foremost, it must win on Sunday. The Steelers have won 3 in a row, but all of the victories have been 1-score games, including the last 2 wins by 3 points each.
