It was a big win Sunday evening for the Steelers at Heinz Field against the Los Angeles Rams. But with their Thursday night game on the horizon with the Cleveland Browns, the Steelers have no time to celebrate as they have to prepare to play another game in just four days. Currently on a four-game win streak, the Steelers will look to go in and take down the 3-6 Browns in their own stadium.
When it comes to the betting lines for Thursday’s game, the following information is the current consensus spread and over/under for the Steelers this week as reported by oddsshark.com.
Game Info: Week 11
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns
Thursday, November 14, 2019 at 8:20 PM
Betting line: +2.5
Over/under: 40.5
Last Regular Season Meeting: Steelers (W) 33-18 vs Browns
Win streak: 1 game PIT, but an 8 game unbeaten streak
Last 3 Meetings: PIT 2 - 0 - 1 CLE
Last 10 Meetings: PIT 8 - 1 - 1 CLE
The opening line on the game was the same at +2.5 when the schedule was released in April. The Browns were a very popular choice by many analysts to see a lot of success in 2019. After going 2-2 in the opening quarter of the season, the Browns dropped four straight games before picking up a narrow victory in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills.
Being the underdog on Sunday, the Steelers have a current moneyline of +135 to win the game straight up, which is the equivalent of 27/20 odds. So a $20 bet placed on the Steelers over the Browns would have a payout of $47 ($27 plus the original $20 bet). The Browns have a current moneyline of -155, or 20/31 odds. Therefore the same $20 bet placed on Cleveland to win straight up would have a payout of $32.90 ($12.90 pus the original $20 bet) .
According to Oddsshark.com, the Steelers are 5-1 straight up in their last 6 games and are 5-1-1 against the spread. The Steelers also have gone UNDER in 8 of their last 10 road games and are 7-0-1 straight up against the Browns the last 8 games.
If looking at the futures bets, the Steelers odds to win the Super Bowl vary from 25/1 to 50/1. They also have varying odds to win the AFC Championship from 14/1 odds to 20/1. As for winning the AFC North, the Steelers are at 7/2 odds and they are projected to place second the AFC North. Baltimore has better odds to win the division at 2/11 while Cincinnati is still the biggest long shot to win the AFC North at 5,000/1.
