SportsLine computer model backs Steelers, Rams for Week 8 NFL
Advanced betting model with $5K+ returns targets Pittsburgh's home dominance over Cleveland and LA's advantage against winless Chargers.
What to know
- SportsLine's computer model, which has returned over $5,000 for $100 bettors since inception, projects Steelers covering -3.5 at home versus Browns on the back of a 22-game home winning streak since 2004.
- Model also projects Rams covering -6.5 against winless-ATS Chargers, who have lost nine straight games overall and sit as the league's only team without a cover this season.
- Both predictions are among the model's strongest Week 8 picks, with Steelers projected to cover well over 60% of simulations and Rams nearly 60%.
- The broader Week 8 schedule features several high-profile postseason rematches (Ravens-Bills, Vikings-Lions, Chiefs-Broncos) and games with large spreads (Bengals-Titans +13.5, Jaguars-Colts +10.5).
