- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS gives new users $150 in bonus bets if their first bet wins or up to $1,500 in bonus bets if the qualifying wager loses, with availability depending on location.
- SportsLine Projection Model backs Under 38.5 total points for Thursday Night Football's Steelers-Browns game in Cleveland, projecting the Under to hit in 56% of its 10,000 simulations; both of last season's head-to-head matchups (each quarterbacked by Aaron Rodgers) and three of the last five also went Under.
- SportsLine expert R.J. White is taking Pittsburgh Steelers (-2.5) to cover, citing the team's improved offensive line after their best offensive performance yet, distrust of the Browns' offense (127 net passing yards at home vs. Carolina), and fading the Browns' inexperienced head coach on a short week.
- Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey (wrist) is active for the game, and both teams enter at 2-1 — a development White called 'a surprise to many, including myself.'
- SportsLine expert Brad Thomas likes Steelers receiver Roman Wilson Over 18.5 receiving yards even with a 31% chance of rain, noting Wilson's six targets in all three games (26, 28, and 60 yards) and 15.2-yard aDOT; the Browns have already allowed 10 pass plays of 20-plus yards (9.0% explosive pass rate, 18th in NFL).
- SportsLine's model entered Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season on a 54-43 run on top-rated picks dating back to 2024 and is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since inception.
- Combining the three picks (Steelers -2.5, Under 38.5, Wilson Over 18.5 receiving yards) into a Thursday parlay at BetMGM would yield a +475 payout (risk $100 to profit $475, odds subject to change).
Why it matters: New BetMGM users can effectively double-down on the Steelers-Browns TNF game: the $1,500 backstop on a losing first bet removes downside risk while SportsLine's model gives the Under a 56% probability edge. The CBS Sports promo stable (BetMGM, DraftKings at $150, FanDuel at $250) all target the same game, signaling Thursday Night Football is the week's marquee sportsbook-acquisition battleground.
