Cleveland Browns are riding high off of a big Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Browns will go into Pittsburgh and be the favorites against the Steelers in Week 2 on Monday Night Football. As of right now, Cleveland is a -1.5 favorite over Pittsburgh. The money-line is set at -126, according to FanDuel.
Pittsburgh did suffer an ugly loss at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2 by a score of 30-7. There is some worry in Pittsburgh about Kenny Pickett and the offense, but you can’t knock how good of a team the 49ers have.
On Cleveland’s side, they’re garnering some respect after blowing out the Bengals, 24-3. The Browns’ defense showed up in a big way and it has sparked some belief in what Cleveland may be able to be in 2023.
Pittsburgh is dealing with some injuries. Wide receiver Diontae Johnson and defensive tackle Cam Heyward both exited against the 49ers and their status could be up in the air against Cleveland.
It is not often that you see the Browns go into Pittsburgh and be road favorites. It signals a different time in Browns’ football, one where they hope they can reach the playoffs and beyond. Of course, betting lines can change with many factors playing a part. But right now, Vegas is taking the Browns.
Jim Schwartz may have unlocked an even more dominate Myles Garrett for the Browns
If true, this doesn’t bode well for the rest of the NFL.
