Browns vs. Steelers odds: Opening lines for Week 8 matchup

Cleveland finds themselves in another meaningful battle for the AFC North.

Browns vs. Steelers odds: Opening lines for Week 8 matchup

In the upcoming Week 8 matchup, the Cleveland Browns are opening as 3.5-point underdogs against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The total points line for the game is set at 38.5. Both teams have had recent wins; the Browns defeated the Tennessee Titans 27-24, and the Steelers claimed a 16-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints in Paris.

Cleveland's quarterback Deshaun Watson, like last season, led another crucial game-winning drive, while kicker Andre Szmyt made a last-minute field goal. However, the Browns need to address their issues with opening-drive touchdowns. The Steelers, coming off their loss to the Browns, have won three straight games against the Colts, Buccaneers, and Saints.

This game is crucial for determining the division's first-place standings. Despite Cleveland's victory in the first matchup, the underdog status shouldn't come as a surprise, as it has been a long time since they've won a regular season game in Pittsburgh. The over/under remains at 38.5.
