Thursday Night Football SGP Week 12: Can the Browns Solve Pittsburgh's Defense?

• The Steelers have won five straight games

• Jaylen Warren is averaging 4.8 YPC over his last three games

• Russell Wilson has thrown for over 173 yards in all four of his starts

This week’s Thursday Night Football matchup features one of the NFL’s most bitter rivalries. The Pittsburgh Steelers will be looking to continue their hot streak as they visit the floundering Cleveland Browns. While this is a lopsided matchup on paper, bookmakers believe the rivalry factor will keep things close.

Steelers -6 (+117) at Caesars Sportsbook

This Thursday Night Football matchup has all the makings of a trap game, but we are confident in the Steelers' ability to handle it. A big reason for that is their defense, which was fantastic against Lamar Jackson on Sunday. The result was a win, as the Steelers held the Ravens to a season-low 16 points.

The Browns remain a mess, even with Jameis Winston behind center. The offense is better with their new quarterback, but Winston remains an erratic passer. That will be a significant problem against a TJ Watt and a great Steelers defense, pushing him into making bad decisions under pressure.

Russell Wilson may not be the same quarterback he once was, but he has given the offense a major boost since taking over the starting job. The improved passing game has also opened things up on the ground, where Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris are thriving. Considering the state of the Browns' defense, we expect the Pittsburgh offense to put up a considerable number on Thursday.

Jaylen Warren Over 36.5 Rush Yards (-123) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Pittsburgh backfield has been one of the best in the league over the last month. While Najee Harris remains the lead back, Jaylen Warren has seen at least nine carries over his last four games. That makes him an established part of the offense heading into a game against a bottom-10 run Browns run defense.

Harris is having a great season, but Warren has been the more explosive over the last few weeks. He is averaging 4.8 YPC over his last three games, surpassing 36 rushing yards in each. Given that he looked great against an elite Ravens’ run defense last week, we expect him to work against the Browns with ease.

Russell Wilson Over 173.5 Passing Yards (-117) at Caesars Sportsbook

As mentioned above, Wilson has been a major upgrade for the Steelers’ offense. The veteran is having a lot of ups and downs each week, but the overall results have been fantastic. The veteran has surpassed 173 passing yards in all four of his starts this season. 

The Cleveland pass defense has been a shell of its former self, ranking in the league's bottom half in yards per game and yards per attempt.
