The second week of the NFL presents an extremely interesting game on Monday Night Football, when the Cleveland Browns host the Pittsburgh Steelers with the obligation to repeat their great start.
The Browns defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 24-3, thanks to Nick Chubb’s 18 carries and Deshaun Watson’s playmaking.
The Steelers lost 30-7 to the San Francisco 49ers, in a game where the offense did not respond to the great plays of quarterback Kenny Pickett.

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on the Browns?
The Cleveland Browns have put together this year to try to make a run at a postseason berth, confident that Deshaun Watson and Dorian Thompson-Robinson can lead the team from the quarterback position.
The Browns are coming off a 24-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and Watson completed 16 of 29 passes for a total of 154 yards passing. He scored once and had one pass intercepted.
In addition, the quarterback made five carries, but in this category, the most outstanding was Nick Chubb, with a total of 18 and 106 yards. This start proves once again that Chubb is the face of Cleveland’s ground offense. However, now some responsibility will also fall on receivers Amari Cooper and Cedric Tillman to get the wins.
And don’t underestimate the defensive work, as they dried up the Bengals for 142 yards in the first game, averaging 2.6 yards per play. Total passing yards were only 67 for the Cincinnati franchise.
Why Bet on the Steelers?
The Pittsburgh Steelers are the team that generates the least hope in the North Division of the American Conference, especially because their previous record was far from reaching the postseason.
Their start was one to forget, as they lost 30-7 to the San Francisco 49ers, who did whatever they wanted with quarterback Brock Purdy, who completed 220 yards with 19 passes and two touchdowns.
For the Steelers Kenny Pickett finished with more passes, 31 of 46, and more yards, 232, but he was intercepted twice, which means that he was not well guarded by his teammates, who were not up to par offensively.
In terms of carries, only Najee Harris managed six, with 31 yards and an average of 5.2. A really low number for a team that wants to have a winning season.
The only thing halfway salvageable was Allen Robinson, who caught five passes and ran for 64 yards.
Some point to the Steelers finishing with a positive record, especially because of the 16 years of manager Mike Tomlin’s work. Sadly, the start of the season has been pretty poor.
Final Betting Analysis: Browns at Steelers
To try to turn around the bad start of the regular season, Pittsburgh was not well-treated by the schedule. They must go to the home of a team that started the campaign on the right foot. The win will go to the Cleveland team.
The numbers at MyBookie.ag have the Browns as the favorite, as the Moneyline for them shows -130, while the Steelers have +110.
Last season’s last meeting between these teams ended in favor of the Steelers with a score of 28-14. Kenny Pickett scored once, and Najee Harris completed 80 yards and a touchdown.
Go for a win in the Moneyline Browns. If you bet $100 at -130, you will gain $76 for a total payout of $176.
