Monday Night Football Best Prop Bets for Browns vs. Steelers
By Peter Dewey
The Pittsburgh Steelers have moved to three-point favorites at WynnBET Sportsbook when they take on the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football.
This is a massive movement from where this line opened, and it may have to do with the fact that the Browns are eliminated from postseason contention.
While I had loved the Steelers as an underdog in our Week 17 upset picks here at BetSided, I’m also going to look at the prop market in this game to try and find some value for Monday night’s action.
Best Prop Bets for Browns vs. Steelers
- Nick Chubb OVER 88.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
- Diontae Johnson OVER 6.5 Catches (-105)
- Pat Freiermuth Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+300)
Nick Chubb OVER 88.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
The Steelers have been awful against the run this season, ranking dead last in yards per carry allowed at 4.8. They also have allowed at least 100 yards on the ground in eight consecutive contests.
The Steelers have allowed at least 100 yards rushing in eight straight games. The last time that they held a team under 100 yards was against the Browns in Week 8, as Cleveland had 96 yards rushing on 23 carries. #Steelers

Chubb has cleared this number in two straight games, rushing for 126 yards and a score against the Green Bay PAckers on Christmas Day his last time out.
I think he has his way with the Steelers tonight as the Browns try to play spoiler in the AFC playoff race.
Diontae Johnson OVER 6.5 Catches (-105)
This is a volume play on Johnson, who has seen nine or more targets in six of his last seven games. He failed to hit the over on this number the last time these teams faced off, but he did see 13 targets.
At -105, we’re getting a little more value to take the over since Johnson hasn’t cleared this number in three straight. However, he had seven or more catches in the four games prior to this slow stretch.
I’ll back him to get back on track against Cleveland in what could be Ben Roethlisberger’s final home game in Pittsburgh.
Pat Freiermuth Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+300)
I feel like I recommend this in every game that Freiermuth plays in, but it’s for good reason.
The rookie tight end has seven touchdown catches this season and has made six of them in his last eight games.
Freiermuth is back in the lineup after a concussion held him out in Week 16, and I expect Roethlisberger to go right back to looking his way in the red zone. The rookie has a score in three of his last five games heading into Monday night.
