Steelers-Browns Kickoff NFL Week 4; MLB/WNBA Playoffs Continue
Welcome to the new and improved Betting with Bearman. I hope you enjoyed the new look and the new platform for the relaunch, which includes a website, so make sure to bookmark www.bearmanbets.com.
We improved to 3-0 in sides/totals on Monday Night Football this season with the no sweat under in the Bears-Eagles game. We missed on our Wicks prop as he dropped the winner in the 4th quarter.
Week 4 begins on Thursday night with the Steelers and Browns, which we have covered below, we update our Futures portfolio and check out the rest of the sports landscape, which includes the MLB and WNBA playoffs.

🏈 Thursday Night Football in Cleveland
Pittsburgh Steelers (-2.5, 38.5) at Cleveland Browns
- This won't be the first TNF game, or the last, in which I do not like a side or total. I am not buying the Browns yet, and I've already been on record as saying the Steelers aren't good. Nice win last week, but not good, struggling to beat Atlanta and getting blown out by a Patriots team that I don't think is good either.
- I'd lean to the under (as I usually do) with neither offense being any good (Steelers 22nd, Browns 30th in yards, Browns 24th, Steelers 26th in scoring), but I am not sure the defenses are that good either, as we saw last week with Pittsburgh giving up 27 to Cincy. If you were to play the total, go under.
- So, we will Prop it Like It's Hot, as we love to do.
- As a Jaylen Warren fantasy owner, I loved what I saw last week about his usage. With Rico Dowdle sitting out, Warren played 90% of the Steelers snaps in Week 3, the highest of any RB in football.
- With this snap share, he had 17 of the team's 20 designed runs, and that was in a game that was virtually a shootout.
