A weekly article we post that gives a brief overview of how national media members view the Pittsburgh Steelers’ odds. Just a skinny summary of notable names who are picking for or against Pittsburgh. We’ll see who gets it right most often. If they offer a score prediction, we include that too. When applicable, I’ll toss in the predictions from Dave Bryan and myself to see how we stack up.

Today, predictions for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 17 game against the Cleveland Browns.

Quick Notes

– Pittsburgh hasn’t won its last three games in Cleveland.

– Aaron Rodgers has only played in Cleveland once, a Green Bay Packers 31-3 win in the 2009 season. He threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns that day.

– In four games, Rodgers has never thrown an interception against Cleveland. He has 11 touchdown passes and zero picks. It makes the Browns one of three teams Rodgers has never thrown a pick against. He also hasn’t been intercepted by the Kansas City Chiefs or New York Jets.

– Myles Garrett has never gone a complete regular season without recording at least one sack against Pittsburgh.

– The Steelers have a plus-15 point differential. If they finish positive, it’ll be the first time they’ve done so in back-to-back years since 2017-2018. Last year, Pittsburgh finished plus-33.
