According to the National Weather Service, winds from 13-18 mph will be blowing in Cleveland on Thursday night, with a potential for rain and snow as well.
The hourly forecast provides more specific details, including temperatures between 36-37 degrees with an even more brisk wind chill of 28 degrees.
And speaking of wind, breezes of 7-17 mph are expected throughout the game, including gusts up to 30 mph, but precipitation may get the lion's share of attention from analysts, fans and bettors.
There's a 74-80% chance of precipitation in the three-hour of window of tonight's game which will likely be rain as opposed to snow, but that is still not clear as of the time of writing.
Either way, Steelers vs. Browns weather won't be optimal for scoring as evidenced by Thursday Night Football over/under movement.
After opening at 40.5 on Sunday, this line has plummeted to between 36.5 and 37 depending on the sportsbook, suggesting that bettors could be expecting poor conditions to influence the offenses in this matchup.
Head's up before you make any picks for the NFL Steelers/Browns game. The forecast looks absolutely dreadful, not to mention the Browns stadium is located near Lake Erie, so expect a full on "Lake-effect snow" which is the worst.
I'm not sure what to put in my weekly NFL free-bet. Bad weather normally suggests a heavy run game and i'm sure the Steelers would do that, but with Jameis Winston, you'd always want to take a shot on either Jeudy or Tillman to score. I'm torn on this one...
