Verdict and Bets:

Bet Builder: 1 point @ 3.01/1

• Steelers +4.5
• Freiermuth over 40 yards receiving

If Jadeveon Clowney and Chase Winovich were playing I would be riding with the Browns here, but Trusbisky might actually have some time to move the ball. The Steelers should be able to better manage Garrett now that his buddies aren’t able to show up to the party. This will be a tight dog fight and the stats say that the Steelers should be able to cover the 4.5 gap. The Browns are animals at running the ball, but they still lost to the Jets last week. No big feeling on this one so I am throwing it in with Freiermuth over 40 yards receiving. Freiermuth is Trubisky’s safety blanket and has 75 yards and 22 yards in his first two games.
