I build my NFL DFS picks for Steelers vs. Browns around a brand-new offer this week, and I want to get you set up before Cleveland hosts Pittsburgh in Thursday Night Football action at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
Underdog just launched a fresh sign-up deal for new users, and I jump on it the moment a new promo drops. Enter the Underdog promo code LABSNEWS, play just $5 on any pick, and Underdog hands you a $100 bonus right away. That’s a genuinely new offer, it runs across most of the country, and it lines up perfectly with a loaded AFC North matchup.
Before I get into my NFL DFS picks for Steelers vs. Browns, here’s where this code works and how I build my card against the top DFS sites I track every week.

Steelers vs. Browns Odds for Thursday Night Football
Pittsburgh travels to Huntington Bank Field as a 2.5-point favorite, and the total sits at 37.5. The Steelers carry the slight edge on the moneyline too, but not by much, and that tells me oddsmakers expect a tight, physical AFC North fight instead of a shootout.
Cleveland’s defense causes problems for every offense that visits this season, and Pittsburgh’s offense stalls out in prime-time spots more often than fans want to admit.
Steelers vs. Browns Prediction: Cleveland Pulls Off the Upset
I take the Browns on the moneyline here. Cleveland owns this series at home, and Pittsburgh shows up flat in Thursday night games again and again over the last 15 years. I back the Browns to grind out a low-scoring win and hand the Steelers another rough Thursday Night Football outing.
My Top NFL DFS Picks for Steelers vs. Browns
I’m building these as higher/lower picks for Underdog’s Pick’em slate — here’s where I’m landing across both sides of the ball tonight.
These are my NFL DFS picks for tonight. I build my Steelers vs. Browns DFS picks around defense and special teams value, since this game leans toward field position and short drives instead of a track meet.
Browns Moneyline: I lock in Cleveland on the moneyline first. The Browns dominate this rivalry at home, and Pittsburgh’s Thursday night struggles over the past decade and a half back up this pick even more.
Carson Schwesinger Over 8.5 Tackles + Assists: Schwesinger logged six total tackles last time out, snapping a stretch where he cleared 9 tackles in every game he played since Week 8 of last season. One quiet week doesn’t change his role on this defense, and I expect him to bounce back over this number against a Steelers offense that grinds out long, high-volume drives.
Chris Boswell Over 1.5 Field Goals Made: Boswell clears this mark in 6 of his last 7 games dating back to last season. A tight spread and a low total point toward a field-goal-heavy script, and I like Boswell to connect on multiple kicks again.
I run these numbers through FantasyLabs before I finalize any card, and the model backs up every pick here for Steelers vs. Browns DFS picks.
