Steelers Line: Underdogs in Dawg Pound vs. Browns

Despite two consecutive games as favorites, and two consecutive victories, the Pittsburgh Steelers will again be underdogs compared to the betting line when they travel to face the Cleveland Browns in Week 11.

The Steelers opened as 4-point underdogs to the Browns for this Sunday’s 1 p.m. kickoff game from the shores of Lake Erie, as posted at multiple sportsbooks on Sunday night. The total for the game is 38.5, with the Steelers moneyline at +160.

The Steelers have been underdogs six times in nine games this season, with a 4-2 record against the spread and also a 4-2 record overall. They beat the Browns outright in Week 2, winning 26-22 as two-point underdogs. They’ve also beaten the Baltimore Ravens, Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Rams outright as underdogs. They lost and failed to cover against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1 and the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8.

The Browns are 5-3-1 against the spread on the season, but are just 2-2 as favorites. They lost outright to the Steelers in Week 2 and failed to cover a 3.5-point spread in a 39-38 win over Indianapolis on Oct. 22. They covered a 3.5-point spread in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans and a 13-point spread against the Arizona Cardinals two weeks ago.

The Steelers have had seven of their nine games go under the total, including that Week 2 game against the Browns, but their win over the Packers went over on Sunday, with 42 points scored against a total of 38.5. Five of Cleveland’s nine games have gone over the total.
