Pittsburgh at Cleveland
Time: 1:00 PM (ET)
Network: CBS
After starting the season 0-4, the Pittsburgh Steelers have quietly sneaked into wildcard contention winning 4 of their last 6 games. In week 11, Pittsburgh had their most impressive victory of the season, upsetting the Detroit Lions in a 37-27 victory, as they will look to inch closer to .500 with an AFC North rivalry game today. They travel to FirstEnergy Stadium today to play the Cleveland Browns who are also 4-6. Unlike the Steelers hot streak, the Browns have lost 4 of their last 5 games and falling out of contention for a playoff spot with another L today.
With rumors of Ben Roethlisberger wanting out of Pittsburgh, and then publicly coming out debunking rumors; the team has finally started to click in a late rally push for the latter half of the season. Today, we’re picking the Steelers just on the strength of Big Ben throwing 9 touchdowns over his last three games and the Browns looking like their remaining schedule is out of their control for victories.
