Browns vs Steelers Prediction

In this Browns vs Steelers Prediction for this NFL Week 7 matchup on Sunday, November 1^st, the Steelers are coming as -3.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming into this matchup in excellent form, as the Steelers have won three straight and have been undefeated at home this season, while the Browns are 5-1 in their last 6 games but have lost two of their last three road games, having scored just 12 and 10 points in those defeats. Steelers have been slightly better both on the offensive and the defensive end, having the 5^th-best defense in all football and will be facing a struggling Browns offense that has been the 5^th-worst in the league. The Steelers have been dominating the Browns in Pittsburgh, having won and covered all five home head-to-head meetings, so I expect them to get the job done in a very reasonable price. Take the Steelers and lay the -3.5 points at home in this one.
