Steelers vs. Browns opens NFL Week 12 tonight at Huntington Bank Field at 8:15 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video.
Beyond spread and total bets, I'm looking at Steelers vs. Browns anytime touchdown scorers and have a pick for each team tonight on Thursday Night Football.
Here are my 2 anytime touchdown scorer bets for tonight.
Steelers vs. Browns Touchdown Scorers
Najee Harris Anytime Touchdown (+125)
Steelers RB Najee Harris has only scored three touchdowns this year, but he's got an awesome matchup on Thursday.
The Browns' run defense has been a disaster over the past month, allowing eight rushing scores in four games. In a game with a low total and potentially lousy weather, I think the best anytime touchdown bet is to bank on the ever-consistent Harris.
Harris should continue getting the lion's share of carries with Russell Wilson at quarterback, especially considering he's earned a whopping 20 red-zone carries across the past four games.
This could be a solid game to bet him to score two touchdowns (+850). Taysom Hill, Chuba Hubbard and Bijan Robinson have all scored multiple touchdowns against the Browns recently.
Defensive/Special Teams Anytime Touchdown (+225)
I mentioned the poor weather, but Thursday will be a disgusting game. The weather report is calling for plenty of rain and wind.
We also have Jameis Winston, who has a turnover-prone history, and a Steelers defense that ranks among the top five NFL units in takeaways (11 interceptions, eight fumbles).
On the other side of the ball, the Browns rank among the top five NFL defenses in pressure and blitz rate. They can force Wilson into a turnover — he's thrown a pick in back-to-back games.
Also, the special teams scoring upside with Calvin Austin III returning kicks is worth mentioning.
I don't make this wager often, but given the projected game script, I'd rather bank on defensive scoring than offensive.
