Fade the Overrated Steelers: Why the Browns at +3.5 Are an Early Week 8 Lock

Brandon Kravitz is immediately fading the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, backing the Cleveland Browns to cover +3.5 in an ugly AFC North dogfight. Despite sitting at 5-2, Pittsburgh has looked thoroughly unconvincing on film and enters this matchup physically worn down following an overtime slugfest and an overseas flight. With division battles routinely decided by a field goal or less, grabbing the hook with Cleveland presents irresistible early betting value.
