Cleveland will put its NFL sixth-best rushing attack (147.3 yards per game) on the line against Pittsburgh\u2019s seventh-ranked rush defense (106.5), while the Steelers\u2019 17th-ranked ground attack (120.6) will look to have its way versus the Browns\u2019 25th-ranked rush defense (134.4).<\/p>\n<p>The respective passing games are nothing to write home about, although there are positives to be had. Pittsburgh rookie Kenny Pickett has paid modest dividends since becoming the starter and has kept the ball out of the opposition\u2019s hands in six of his last seven games. Deshaun Watson has overcome a sluggish start since his return from suspension to toss three touchdowns in the second half of Cleveland\u2019s 24-10 win over Washington last week.<\/p>\n<p>Neither quarterback played in the teams\u2019 first meeting, a 29-point Browns victory on Sept. 22.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steelers_to_cover-25\"><\/span>Steelers to cover-2.5 <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Admittedly, both teams have reason to play. We\u2019ve chronicled the Steelers\u2019 motivation above, while the Browns likely would relish keeping their hated rivals out of the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>All eyes are on Pickett in this one. Now, the rookie likely isn\u2019t going to put up gaudy stats in a must-win game for his club, however he has proven to be smart with the football \u2014 save for his three-interception performance versus the Miami Dolphins on Oct. 23.<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh has won four of the last five home meetings with Cleveland, and Pickett will do just enough to send his club to victory on Sunday as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick: <\/strong>Steelers to cover-2.5 @ -110 at Caesars Sportsbook<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/steelers-browns.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Najee Harris\" class=\"wp-image-25262150\"\/><figcaption>Najee Harris<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Icon Sportswire via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Najee_Harris_anytime_touchdown_scorer_-130\"><\/span>Najee Harris anytime touchdown scorer -130<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Najee Harris has scored a touchdown on six occasions (five rushing, one receiving) in his last seven games and also found the end zone in the previous encounter versus the Browns.<\/p>\n<p>Harris rushed for a season-best 111 yards on 5.0 yards per carry in Pittsburgh\u2019s 16-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The second-year running back also scored in both of his contests against the Browns last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick: <\/strong>Najee Harris to score a touchdown @ -130 at Caesars Sportsbook<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Betting_on_the_NFL\"><\/span>Betting on the NFL? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Under_40_total_points\"><\/span>Under 40 total points<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s game likely isn\u2019t going to be aesthetically pleasing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh\u2019s offense is mustering an NFL fourth-worst 17.5 points per game.
