Week 12 in the 2024 NFL season kicks off with an AFC North showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns. This is the second of 4 consecutive divisional contests for the visiting Steelers (8-2), the first of which saw them pick up a huge win over the Baltimore Ravens this past Sunday.

Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is the entire plan here, as Steelers receiver George Pickens scoring a touchdown and running back Najee Harris racking up plenty of rushing yards would obviously work well with a big win for Pittsburgh. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.

Pittsburgh Steelers -5.5 alternate spread over Cleveland Browns (+114)
I generally don’t love giving more than a field goal in any AFC North matchup (those always seem to be competitive, physical dogfights), but there are exceptions to that rule – and this is one of those exceptions. After all, these are 2 franchises going in different directions. Under head coach Mike Tomlin, the Steelers – who are in line for yet another winning season – always seem to be trending upward. The Browns, on the other hand, are going nowhere fast – bogged down by the outrageous Deshaun Watson contract. Will home-field advantage do anything to help Cleveland? It’s unlikely, as head coach Kevin Stefanski’s club is 1-4 so far this year at Huntington Bank Field. The bottom line is that the Steelers are rolling and the Browns are most definitely not. Give me the visitors to win by at least a touchdown.

George Pickens to score a touchdown (+230)
Pickens has scored only 2 touchdowns this year, but both of those have come in the last 4 weeks. With Wilson throwing him the ball, Pickens is enjoying by far his best 4-game stretch of the season. The former Georgia standout has made 22 receptions on 33 targets, with 365 yards to go along with his 2 TDs. He now faces a Cleveland defense that has surrendered 14 touchdowns through the air while intercepting a mere 2 passes. It’s also worth noting that the Browns allow the 4th-most yards per pass attempt in the NFL (7.8). Count on another big performance by Pickens, who has great anytime touchdown scorer value at +230.

Najee Harris Over 63.5 rushing yards (-113)
The predicted game script – leading to a comfortable win for Pittsburgh – would result in a whole host of carries for Harris. If the Steelers jump out to a lead and maintain it, they can keep feeding the rock to Harris and run the clock. The Alabama product has exceeded this 63.5 number in 6 of 10 games this season and he missed it on the hook last week against Baltimore. Harris has surpassed the 100-yard mark in 3 of the last 5 contests. He has gotten at least 18 carries in 4 straight games, having previously gotten 18 only twice in the first 6. All signs point to a heavy workload on Thursday, one that the 26-year-old should make the most of by parlaying into significant yardage.
