Jeremy Cluff writes: “The Steelers already beat the Browns by 14 earlier this season. This game will be closer with Shedeur Sanders under center for Cleveland, but it will result in another win for Pittsburgh, its fourth straight.”

Bill Speros writes: “Pittsburgh beat Cleveland 23-9 in Week 6. This game carries the lowest NFL total of the season at 34.5 points. Therefore, we’re going to treat that market like Chernobyl and stay very far away. A rain-snow mix awaits, with winds around 17 MPH. Look for lots of Jaylen Warren. And hold your breath when each field goal attempt.”

Matt Johnson writes: “The Pittsburgh Steelers rode a 230-yard rushing performance to a victory over the Detroit Lions this past week. We see no reason to deviate from that game plan, as the Cleveland Browns have allowed 163.3 rushing yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry in the last three weeks. Plus, with the Browns losing Quinshon Judkins to a devastating injury, this offense will get even worse.”
