Steelers vs. Browns TNF same-game parlay picks, props, odds
Week 12 in the NFL kicks off with a divisional clash Thursday night as the Cleveland Browns host the Pittsburgh Steelers.The weather could be an issue with an expected wintry mix of rain, snow and wind gusts of up to 20 mph.Thus, when putting together our same-game parlays, it makes sense to consider the running game for both teams as part of our decision-making. All odds courtesy of DraftKings.While quarterback Russell Wilson has done a decent job since coming into the starting lineup, the Steelers haven’t exactly let him loose.Considering that Pittsburgh has the second-lowest pass-play rate in the league at 47.6%, Harris should continue to get his share of touches, especially given the weather conditions.Attacking Cleveland on the ground makes sense, as it ranks 27th in opponent yards per carry (4.8).Harris has exceeded 17.5 rushing attempts in the last four games and the weather conditions bode well for him to have a heavy workload.Although Harris is the lead back for the Steelers, Warren remains firmly in their plans to get his share of carries.Warren is also getting more carries because the Steelers call fewer designed quarterback runs for Wilson than when Justin Fields was under center.The backup running back has registered at least nine carries in his last four games. Pittsburgh’s dual-rushing attack could wear down a Browns defense that got gashed for 214 yards on the ground on Sunday against the Saints.Lastly, Warren has exceeded this yardage in his last five games against opponents ranked in the bottom 10 of rushing yards allowed.After seeing a massive move on the Under from 43.5 to 37, I prefer to add a bit of insurance by playing an alternate total at 43. While the move likely involves the weather report, it’s worth noting that Pittsburgh has a top-10 defense and a bottom-10 offense.Thus, the Steelers fit the profile of the team you want if you’re targeting a play on the Under.When you factor in that this is a divisional game in primetime, poi...
