Steelers vs. Browns, Week 3 betting splits

Betting the spread: The Browns are 4-point favorites. 63% of the handle and 67% of bets are being placed on the Steelers to cover.

Is the public right? Yes, the Steelers have quite a bit of value with a 4-point head start in this spot. This feels like an overreaction to Pittsburgh’s poor start to the season, and there shouldn’t be a significant home-field advantage with how close these teams are geographically. The Steelers should be the bet with anything more than a field goal.

Betting the over/under: The point total is installed at 38. 57% of the handle and 47% of bets are being placed on the under.

Is the public right? It feels dangerous taking an under with this low of a total, but it will be worth it when there is more money in your betting account late on Thursday night. Jacoby Brissett vs. Mitch Trubisky does not sound like a ton of points, and both defenses should have plenty of success in this spot.

Betting the moneyline: The Browns are home favorites with moneyline odds at -190. Moneyline odds for the Steelers are at +160. 61% of the handle and 63% of bets are being placed on the Steelers to win.

Is the public right? If I’m making a moneyline bet, I’ll side with the public and take the Steelers to pick up a slight upset victory. With the low total, points will be hard to come by and it feels like this should be more of a 50/50 situation. Side with the dogs.
