There haven’t been a ton of them so far this NFL season, but we’ve got an AFC North rivalry game on deck for Week 6.

Fanatics Browns vs. Steelers Predictions for NFL Week 6, Sunday 10/12

It’s safe to say that these teams are coming into this division rivalry in very different ways. While Cleveland is coming off their London game, Pittsburgh was enjoying its bye week. Along with sheer performances thus far, it’s no surprise that Aaron Rodgers and company are favored at home in the latest Browns vs. Steelers odds for Sunday.

Of course, Rodgers isn’t the only new piece in this AFC North rivalry. Although we don’t get the battle of two 40+ year-old QBs like we would if Joe Flacco were still under center, it’s now a polarizing one with Cleveland starting rookie QB Dillon Gabriel. In fact, we also learned that the Browns traded Joe Flacco to the division rival Bengals on Tuesday afternoon! Since then, it's also been confirmed that Shedeur Sanders will be the backup.

The lefty performed better than most expected with his first start coming in London and against a Brian Flores defense, taking just two sacks and not turning the ball over a single time! Another road game isn’t doing him any favors, even if the Pittsburgh defense is banged up on the back end.

There is plenty of history between these rivals as well to help come up with a best bet from our Browns vs. Steelers predictions.

 

 

 

Browns vs. Steelers Best Bet: Quinshon Judkins Anytime TD (+120 at Fanatics)

What we’re most excited to see in this matchup is the definition of an AFC North rivalry - the play of the defensive lines. Getting to see Myles Garrett vs. TJ Watt is exciting enough, but it’s the overall success of the trenches that is unreal.

Cleveland ranks first in the entire NFL in pass rush AND run stop win rate, and Pittsburgh is right behind them in second in terms of pass rush win rate. While those units are elite, there are major discrepancies. The most glaring is the Steelers’ 31st-ranked pass block win rate, which is a perfect recipe for a Myles Garrett sack.

It’s also why we’d consider Pittsburgh’s team total under 21.5 for your Browns vs. Steelers picks. Additionally, the Steelers rank 23rd in run stop win rate, and that’s where the Browns’ offensive line has performed well.

That’s a perfect recipe for rookie RB Quinshon Judkins to find the endzone. He did so in back-to-back games prior to the most recent London game, but even still, he had an incredible 110-yard performance, and that was against a Brian Flores defense of the Minnesota Vikings.

The second-round pick out of Ohio State is also tied for the ninth-most red zone carries this year, even after not being the true lead back in Week 1 and getting just 10 total carries. With plus-money odds, we love Quinshon Judkins anytime TD (+120 at Fanatics) as the best bet from our Browns vs. Steelers predictions.
