Pre-Game:
Well, normally I wouldn’t say this is going to be a very close Thursday Night Football game, but you never know with the way the Steelers have been playing as of late. I mean seriously, what is the Steelers deal? If they keep playing the way they are, Pittsburgh won’t even be playing in the playoffs and have a chance to defend their Super Bowl title. I understand the Steelers have had more than their share of injuries this year, but even so they are a much better team than .500 going into Week 14.
Pittsburgh Steelers:
In my opinion, the Steelers need to run the table if they want any chance at playing in the post season. Pittsburgh lost to the Raiders last week, 27-24 on their home turf nonetheless. The Steelers offensive stats are better than a team with a 6-6 record and their defensive stats are even better with a #1 NFL ranking in rushing yards allowed per game. We will see if the Steelers can use this game as a momentum builder for the rest of the season.
Cleveland Browns:
The Browns have just been struggling this year since game one. On a more positive note, they only lost by 7 points, 30-23, last week against the now 9-3 Chargers in Cleveland. Of the 8 main key statistics including both offense and defense, the Browns rank 4th to last to last in 5 of the 8 categories. Cleveland fans just have to accept it and consider this another team rebuilding year.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns Prediction:
The Steelers are playing the Browns this week for the Thursday Night Football game. Both teams are in the AFC North division, and this will be a pivotal game for Pittsburgh. The Steelers must win this game in order to stay alive in the playoff hunt. If they were do lose this game they can say bye-bye to defending their Super Bowl Championship. With that being said, the Steelers have much more to play for in this game than do the Browns. Cleveland has been struggling this year, and I predict the Steelers winning this game fairly easily and beating the point spread.
