5 Most Popular Bets and Prop Bets for Monday Night Football: Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns
Unfortunately for the Cleveland Browns, they were eliminated from the playoffs last night and these next two games are rendered virtually meaningless. At 7-7-1, the Pittsburgh Steelers still have an outside chance at the playoffs but it's not going to be easy.
Regardless, this game will be meaningful for them because it's been reported that this will more than likely be Ben Roethlisberger's last game at Heinz Field as a Pittsburgh Steeler. How does all of this impact the public?
Well, let's take a look at the five most popular bets and props for Monday Night Football in Week 17.

Steelers -2
| Bet | Bets% | Handle% |
|---|---|---|
| Steelers -2 | 60% | 68% |
The Steelers opened up as three-point underdogs but eventually moved to favorites this week. They have more to play for between the two teams and the emotion factor is going to have to play a role tonight for the Steelers. Your franchise quarterback who won you two Super Bowls is leaving if you can't get up for this game when will you ever?
Over 41.5
| Bet | Bets% | Handle% |
|---|---|---|
| Over 41.5 | 68% | 91% |
The public absolutely loves the over. 91 percent of the money is on the over at 41.5, that's downright insane numbers. I get it too, yes these two teams have been insanely inconsistent on offense but 41.5 is just way too low for this one. It should be in the mid-40's so you're getting some great value here.
Nick Chubb to score 1st touchdown (+450)
Chubb has gotten into the endzone in back-to-back weeks and is likely the best offensive player on the field for either side. Chubb has nine touchdowns in 12 games so he has a 75 percent chance of getting into the endzone. With the Browns run game as their biggest strength, it's easy to see why he's a popular pick to get into the endzone first. Also, Pittsburgh has allowed 16 rushing touchdowns on the season, they aren't exactly a tough run defense.
Diontae Johnson Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+115)
Diontae Johnson has been Ben Roethlisberger's favorite target in the passing game. He has seven touchdowns and 1,079 receiving yards in 14 games for Pittsburgh this year. The Browns have been great against the run all year long but struggle in pass defense. This is actually a good matchup for both Big Ben and Diontae Johnson to make some magic.
Najee Harris to score and Steelers win (+220)
There's no question, Najee Harris is the future of this Steelers offense along with Diontae Johnson. Plus, he's utilized both as a runner and a pass-catcher so his odds of getting into the endzone is a little bit higher due to his versatility. if you're a believer in both the Steelers and Harris then I don't know how you can pass up on this +220 value.
