The Pittsburgh Steelers exited their bye week on Monday as the new leaders of the AFC North division and now they’ll get ready to host the 2-4-1 Cleveland Browns on Sunday at Heinz Field. The Steelers opened Week 8 as 7.5-point home favorites over the Browns, according to vegasinsider.com and that remains the consensus line at the time of this post.
The Browns lost their Week 7 game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road 26-23. Buccaneers kicker Chandler Catanzaro kicked home a 59-yard game-winning field goal with 1:55 left in overtime to beat the Browns on Sunday and that came on the heels of Cleveland safety Jabrill Peppers fumbling during a punt return with 3:27 left in the extra period.
