ProFootballTalk's Week 4 NFL picks feature a bold prediction for the Thursday night AFC North matchup between the Steelers and Browns. Despite Pittsburgh's dismal 1-7 record in Cleveland since 2018 and 0-9 mark in Thursday night games against AFC North rivals, PFT analyst Mike McCarthy's 16-6 short-week record gives the Steelers the edge. esporist.org
The prediction comes as PFT's weekly picks record shows a downward trend from 10-6 to 9-7 to 8-8 this season. The analyst's confidence stems from McCarthy's success in short-week games and Browns coach Todd Monken's familiarity with the Steelers from his time with the Ravens.
