Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns Prediction: Can Pittsburgh Steelers capitalize on the opening created by The Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns: Prediction for the match on October 12, 2025

The Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1) will host the Cleveland Browns (1-4) in a Week 6 AFC North matchup. The Steelers, led by Aaron Rodgers, are coming off their bye week and a win over the Minnesota Vikings. Dillon Gabriel will make his second career start after facing the same Vikings in his professional debut, which ended in a 21-17 loss in London. Here at Telecomasia, we will preview this game and offer the best betting opportunities.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Form and Statistics

The Steelers won 24-21 against the Vikings and had a week off in Week 5. They are 3-1 to start the season and are feeling good about it, especially because Aaron Rodgers is their quarterback. But they are still not a top team. Pittsburgh is 30th in total yards, 31st in rushing yards, and 27th in passing yards. Even Cleveland's offense has done better in these areas, but the numbers are close. Pittsburgh has trouble keeping the ball, but they score more points than Cleveland, averaging 24.0 points per game compared to Cleveland's 14.6.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Team News

There is still hope for things to get better. The defense might get back to its old self if Alex Highsmith and Joey Porter Jr. come back. Jalen Ramsey, a cornerback, is still not sure if he will play because of a hamstring injury. Calvin Austin III and Alex Highsmith are also not sure if they will play on Sunday.

Cleveland Browns: Form and Statistics

Earlier this week, the Browns sent quarterback Joe Flacco to the Bengals. This means that Dillon Gabriel, a rookie quarterback, will start his second game in a row, and his first in North America. Last Sunday, Gabriel played for the Minnesota Vikings in England. The Browns lost 21-17, which means they didn't cover as 3.5-point underdogs. The Over (36) did pay out, though. Gabriel threw for 190 yards and scored two touchdowns. Quinshon Judkins, a running back, ran for 110 yards.

Cleveland Browns: Team News

Last week, Cleveland's offense couldn't finish the game, and their defense couldn't stop a drive that would have won the game. The Browns are now 1-4. It's a hard start, but the AFC North is still up for grabs. The Ravens have only won one game so far, and the Bengals are having a hard time. Even though they have a bad record, the Browns still have a chance. The Browns are back in the States after a long trip from London and another painful loss. They want to get back on track.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns Betting Tips & Odds

• The defense for Pittsburgh has also had some problems. They are 28th overall, with the 19th-best run defense and the 30th-best pass defense. They do, however, still rank high in sacks per pass attempt.
• Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf showed everyone in Week 4 that Pittsburgh can still score, even though their defense isn't very good. They connected for five catches and 126 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown that had fans remembering the Big Ben era.
• The "Steel Curtain" defense of the Steelers hasn't quite lived up to its name. They've given up 16.3 passing points per game (26th in the league) and have let up more than one passing touchdown in each of the last three games. Carson Wentz had a lot of success in Week 4 when the game was already over

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns Match Prediction 12th October 2025

The Browns are having a hard time with a rookie quarterback and a running back who is doing well in his first year. Judkins and a strong defense give Cleveland a bright future, but Gabriel and/or Shedeur Sanders need to get better at quarterback play quickly. Last week, Gabriel showed some promise. Cleveland also had to deal with the fact that they had to go to England last week without the usual week off that comes after a trip abroad. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, is well-rested because they haven't played in two weeks. The Steelers are the favorites, but the risk isn't worth the reward. If you bet on Pittsburgh, you could win almost three times what you put in, but it's not a good deal. Adding the Steelers to a parlay would still make your bet worth less.
