Can Pittsburgh Shut Down Cleveland’s Ground Game?

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers — Pittsburgh Steelers -3 for the full game, including overtime.

Pittsburgh shut down New Orleans on the ground. Cleveland just rushed for 183 yards. Can the Steelers stop the Browns, too? That’s the question before backing Pittsburgh Steelers -3 (-125) at BetPhoenix.

The Saints managed 18 rushing yards on 17 carries against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh also ran for 148 yards against New Orleans in that same game. If Pittsburgh can run the ball and slow Cleveland down, it could pull away. But New Orleans isn’t lining up across from the Steelers this week. Cleveland is.

The Browns’ 183 yards came against Tennessee, and they scored 27 points in that win. If Cleveland runs that well again, the Browns could keep this close. That’s an uncomfortable prospect when you’re laying points.

Take Pittsburgh -3 if you trust the Steelers to run the ball and slow Cleveland down. If you expect the Browns to run as well as they did against Tennessee, pass.
