NFL News (AP)
A rivalry that dates back to 1950 will be renewed on Thursday Night Football when the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) visit the Cleveland Browns (1-1). Both squads have placeholders at the quarterback position, so the running backs are getting most of the attention for NFL prop bets. Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt form a strong one-two punch for the Browns, while Najee Harris is a bell-cow back for the Steelers who led the NFL in touches last season. Caesars Sportsbook lists Harris at 74.5 scrimmage yards in the latest NFL player props.
Harris eclipsed that number last week and easily surpassed that total in both of the Steelers vs. Browns games last year. But Cleveland does bring the league's No. 4 run defense into Thursday Night Football and held Christian McCaffrey to just 57 scrimmage yards in Week 1.
