Russell Wilson Pass Attempts – Higher Than 26.5

This week’s Thursday Night Football features an old-school AFC North rivalry game. The Steelers and Browns will square off in Cleveland in what is expected to be a low-scoring game. The total currently sits at just 36.5 points, so neither team is expected to light up the scoreboard.

With that in mind, it’s not surprising that expectations for Wilson are pretty low. Wilson is also coming off his worst game of the season in Week 11, racking up just 205 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception against a weak Ravens’ pass defense. The result was an average of just 4.44 adjusted yards per attempt.

Still, Wilson threw the ball 36 times in that matchup, and he’s attempted at least 28 throws in all four starts. Even if this game doesn’t feature a ton of offense, I still think he should be able to get back to that threshold.

The Browns had a historically good pass defense last year, but they’ve regressed badly in 2024. They’re merely 16th in pass defense EPA, and opposing QBs have averaged 29.3 pass attempts per game when facing them.

Maybe the Steelers blow the Browns out and Wilson spends most of the second half handing it off to his running backs, but Pittsburgh is favored by just 3.5 points on the road. The Steelers also have a track record of underperforming in these types of spots under head coach Mike Tomlin.

I’m ultimately expecting this game to go down to the wire, and if that’s the case, this number is simply too low.

Jerome Ford Rushing Yards – Higher Than 14.5

Nick Chubb is still the Browns’ lead running back, and he’s in no real jeopardy of losing that gig. However, his efficiency has left a lot to be desired since returning to the lineup. That’s not a huge shock after undergoing surgery last season, but he’s averaged just 3.1 yards per attempt through his first four games. Chubb was a historically efficient running back in his prime, averaging 5.2 yards per attempt for his career, but it’s possible he’s just not the same player anymore.

With that in mind, it’s not surprising that Ford has maintained a solid role in the team’s backfield. He’s played on at least 47% of the snaps in back-to-back games, and he handled 26% of the team’s carries last week vs. the Saints. Ford finished with just five carries for 10 yards in that outing, but he’s averaged 4.9 yards per attempt for the year. If he can carve out another four to six carries vs. the Steelers, I like his chances of getting to 15+ yards.

Ultimately, you could choose to go the volume route instead and play higher than 4.5 attempts, but I think the yardage number gives us a few more outs. Even if Ford only sees two or three carries in this matchup, he still has the chance to rip off one big run.
