2017 NFL Picks & Betting Odds Week 1 – Place Bet On Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns
The Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2017 NFL season with high expectations as always for a franchise that has a league leading 6 Super Bowl titles. Head coach Mike Tomlin enters his 11th season as Steelers head coach and he has done a very good job going 103-57 overall and 1-1 in Super Bowls. However, fans want more and they expect the Steelers to win the Super Bowl this season. The Steelers have +1200 odds to win the 2018 Super Bowl at Bovada Sportsbook.
The Steelers have made the playoffs in each of the last three seasons and have won double digit games each year. The Steelers went 11-5 last season en route to winning the AFC North Division and they have -150 odds to win the AFC North again this season at Intertops.
The Steelers should be one of the best offensive teams in the league again this season after finishing 7th in the NFL last year in total offense at 372.6 yards per game and 10th in scoring offense at 24.9 points per game. Defensively, the Steelers were a solid 12th overall in total defense at 342.6 yards per game and 10th in scoring defense at 20.4 points per game.
The Steelers welcome back wide receiver Martavis Bryant this season as he is back from a year long suspension. The Steelers also made noise last week when they signed former Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden after the former pro bowler was cut.
The Cleveland Browns are coming off of another terrible season as they went 1-15 last year. The Browns have only won 4 games total the last two seasons and have been the door mat in the AFC North Division for a long time now. The odds makers at Bovada give them little chance at winning the division this season as they have +2500 odds to win the AFC North.
The Browns will be starting a rookie at quarterback in DeShone Kizer. The 2nd round pick out of Notre Dame has showed some promise in the preseason and head coach Hue Jackson has decided to give the kid a shot at jump starting an offense that was a pitiful 30th in the league last season at just 311 yards per game. The Browns were even worse scoring as they finished 31st last season in the NFL at just 16.5 points per game.
The Browns are bad on offense but equally as bad, if not worse, on defense. The defense was a sieve last season giving up 392.4 yards per game to finish 31st in the NFL and 28.2 points per game to finish 30th. The Browns did have the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft and took defensive end Myles Garrett so that was a good start at trying to get this defense back to a respectable level. However, it will take time.
The Steelers have swept the seasons series the last two seasons and are 8-1 in their last 9 games against Cleveland. They flat out own the Browns and that’s not changing on Sunday to kickoff the 2017 NFL season. Lay the -8 points and bet on the Steelers to blow the doors off the Browns. It will get ugly so hide the women and kids.
Bet on Pittsburgh Steelers -8 at Intertops Sportsbook. Hurry before the line moves and goes up. It’s already Pittsburgh -9 at Bovada.
