Steelers vs. Browns odds, picks: First touchdown predictions for Thursday Night Football in NFL Week 4

The opening week of the NFL schedule brings an AFC North clash as the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to meet the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football for Week 4 of the 2026 season. Both teams enter this matchup following victories, with Pittsburgh defeating the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland overcoming the Carolina Panthers.

Prediction markets on Kalshi have highlighted several players for first touchdown bets, including Jaylen Warren, Quinshon Judkins, DK Metcalf, Harold Fannin Jr., Denzel Boston, Deshaun Watson, Pat Freiermuth, Michael Pittman Jr., and Roman Wilson.

With Rico Dowdle sidelined by an injury, Jaylen Warren is projected to carry the primary rushing workload for the Steelers' offense. Analysts point to his expected volume on the ground and his pass-catching utility under Aaron Rodgers as key factors for potential red-zone production.

Given expectations for a low-scoring game with limited big plays, a short scoring run by Warren stands out as the favored option to open the scoring.
