Video taking off 11x its usual first day

Steelers vs Browns tops CBS Sports' tenfold Week 4 picks

After days led by Terron Armstead, Aaron Rodgers and Case Keenum, a video with no star in its title is the one moving fast, even as the channel as a whole runs well below its normal pace.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 265,104 views a day, 11 times a normal first day on this channel (24,890).

CBS Sports posted its full set of Week 4 predictions on Tuesday. Before the video had been up a quarter of a day, it had passed 100,000 views, which puts it on course for roughly ten times what a new upload on the channel usually draws in its whole first day.

The past few days on the channel belonged to single faces. Terron Armstead talked about Drake Maye, Aaron Rodgers rewatched his own throw to Darnell Washington, and Case Keenum led off the Eagles-Bears preview. This one names no player at all. It promises a pick for every game, puts Steelers vs Browns in the brackets and adds a green check mark for the best bets. Pittsburgh and Cleveland share the AFC North, so they meet twice every regular season.

It arrived on a slow stretch. The channel as a whole was drawing well under its usual daily views, and so were The Rich Eisen Show and First Things First. The picks video has a busy comment section anyway, with about one comment for every four likes.
