Steelers vs. Browns NFL props, Thursday Night Football picks, AI prediction: Russell Wilson over 173.5 yards

Two teams at opposite ends of the AFC North standings will meet on Thursday Night Football when the Steelers (8-2) visit the Browns (2-8). Despite the contrasting success, both teams have plenty of players to target for Thursday Night Football props, including Jameis Winston, Russell Wilson and Nick Chubb. Winston, who threw three picks in his last home start, has an interceptions bar of 0.5 for Browns vs. Steelers. Expecting the veteran to be INT-free would result in a plus-money payout for this NFL prop bet of +150 at DraftKings.

Just five teams have more interceptions than Pittsburgh’s defense, and this will be the first time that Winston has faced the Steelers. Backing Winston to go over 0.5 interceptions has NFL prop odds of -200. There are numerous factors that should influence your NFL props, from NFL player trends to expected game flow to injuries to Steelers vs. Browns weather.

Top NFL player prop bets for Browns vs. Steelers

After analyzing Steelers vs. Browns props and examining the dozens of NFL player prop markets, the AI PickBot says Steelers quarterback Wilson goes Over 173.5 passing yards (-117 on Caesars). This is a bar that Wilson has easily eclipsed in all four of his games this season, never having fewer than 195 yards in any. For the season, he’s averaging 235.5 passing yards per game, which is his most since the 2020 season. Cleveland will also contribute to Wilson hitting the Over as it possesses one of the weakest pass defenses in the NFL.

Cleveland is giving up a league-high 12.7 yards per completion, which should allow for many of those moon balls that have become a trademark of Wilson. The Browns also have just two interceptions on the season — second-fewest in the NFL — and Cleveland has seen many opposing quarterbacks feast off it. Each of the last three starting quarterbacks it has faced has had at least 248 passing yards, in addition to a combined six touchdown passes and no picks. Cleveland’s No. 1 total defense from 2023 has not shown up this season, as Wilson is projected to finish with 216.8 passing yards, giving value to the Over (-117). See more NFL props here.
