Oddsmakers peg Browns to have more wins than Steelers
With the NFL Draft approaching in three weeks, two gambling sites have set modest expectations for the Pittsburgh Steelers in terms of predicted wins for the 2019 season.
In fact, they have the Cleveland Browns picked to win more games than the Steelers in the upcoming season.
The Steelers are listed at an over/under of 8.5 wins, according to SportsBetting.ag and BetOnline.ag. That’s a reduction from a 10.5 wins over/under total last year when the Steelers finished 9-6-1 and missed the playoffs for the first time in five years.
According to SportsBetting.ag, the Browns are pegged at nine wins – their total was five last season – with the Baltimore Ravens estimated at eight wins and the Cincinnati Bengals at six.
Both sites have the New England Patriots with an over/under of 11 wins, followed by the New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams at 10.5 wins apiece.
The Steelers face 25-1 odds of reaching Super Bowl LIV, according to BetOnline.ag.
