A rivalry that dates back to 1950 will be renewed on Thursday Night Football when the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) visit the Cleveland Browns (1-1). Both teams have quarterback slots, so running backs get the most attention for NFL prop bets. Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt form a solid brace for the Browns, while Najee Harris is a bell for the Steelers who led the NFL by touches last season. Caesars Sportsbook lists Harris at 74.5 scrimmage yards in the latest NFL player props.
Harris eclipsed that number last week and easily surpassed that total in both Steelers vs. Browns games last year. But Cleveland brings the league’s No. 4 running defense into Thursday Night Football and kept Christian McCaffrey to just 57 scrimmage yards in Week 1. Which side should you lean towards when making your prop choices? NFL? Before you make NFL prop bets for the Browns vs. Steelers, you need to see the Thursday Night Football prop predictions from the SportsLine projection model.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has grown more than $7,000 for players to $100 on top NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 3 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 139-102 run on NFL’s top picks that dates back to the 2017 season.
The model has also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the last six years on NFL direct picks and has beaten more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that time. Anyone who followed him is upstairs.
It can also be used to crush NFL picks. Last season, his NFL prop bets went from 41 to 29 starting in Week 7, netting more than $800.
With Steelers vs. Browns in Thursday Night Football, the model evaluated Caesars’ NFL player props and found five solid bets. You can only see them here.
Best NFL player prop bets for Browns vs. Steelers
After simulating the Steelers against the Browns 10,000 times, the model predicts Browns running back Chubb to exceed 77.5 rushing yards. The three-time Pro Bowler has topped that mark in both games this season, his 114 rushing yards per game ranking second in the league. Cleveland is also harnessing a heavier offense with Jacoby Brissett replacing Deshaun Watson, as Chubb averages a career-high 19.5 rush attempts per game.
This current Pittsburgh defense will never be confused with the Steel Curtain defenses of the 1970s, especially with injured TJ Watt (chest). Pittsburgh ranks 22nd in rushing defense and only four teams have more rushing attempts against it. Joe Mixon rushed for 82 yards against Pittsburgh in Week 1 and the Patriots’ back averaged 4.9 yards per carry against the Steelers in Week 2. The model projects Chubb to run for 95 yards on Thursday, crushing the most. See other NFL accessories here.
