How isn&#x27;t everyone on this?&#xD;&#xA;It&#x27;s the NFL, even with the Browns having no QB, anything can happen.....when the Saints squeak by the Panthers, Pats barely win in Buffalo, why couldn&#x27;t the Browns upset the Steelers?&#xD;&#xA;BTW, the Steelers will roll in this one by 30&#x2B;

ArtSchlichterJr · Answer

Reports out of camp this week have been Ben has been  razor sharp.. Pitt or nothing..IMO..

ClubDirt · Answer

too big a spread with ben playing his first game for me.  i was actually thinking of taking clevelamd at 14.5 but at 13.5, i&#x27;m staying far away. a conservative gameplan by pitt with a low scoring game or a backdoor cover wouldn&#x27;t shock me.  with two new qb&#x27;s playing, i can see both teams playing this one conservatively.  the under has been bet down pretty hard.  i should have looked at that total earlier in the week.

I think Steelers crush them here.  Ben isn&#x27;t a average QB coming off an injury... he&#x27;s a Pro Bowl QB who played fine in the preseason and missed 4 weeks due to suspension.  Steelers offense will be much better from this point on.  I&#x27;d rather take Pitt&#x27;s D with Terry Bradshaw at QB than Cleveland starting a rookie qb for the first tim in Pitt.

Big Ben will throw for over 300 yards guaranteed. 400&#x2B; quite possible...

xtc_savedmylife · Answer

I got Cleveland &#x2B; 14.  Division game, too many points IMO.GL though

WestHamUnited · Answer

I do see this one getting ugly despite Cleveland being a very good team ATS recently, covering something like 9/11 until last week.

If this one was in Cleveland Id give them a chance to even win I am not averse to betting against the Steelers in the right spot.

I think McCoy will give Pittsburgh this game signlehandedly. Hes gonna throw multiple picks. Im taking Pitt just on him sucking dick Sunday.

Huge number though.

cashin · Answer

Granted, a huge # for the pros &amp; more parity this yr than ever, but IMO this isn&#x27;t a spot to lay off Pitt because of it. Worst possible spot for a rookie QB (who in time I believe will be a decent pro QB) in his debut &amp; worse, he has little to help him out on either side of the ball. Like Pitt &amp; Pitt 1st half. Steelers by 21&#x2B;&#xD;&#xA;GL

maddencutter · Answer

I think I&#x27;m gonna bet the under and Pitt -14 with equal amounts.  I figure the odds of Cleveland scoring more than 10-14 points is very low against the baddest defense off a bye.  So if Pitt destroys them and they go over in the process, I break even, or if it&#x27;s a 17-6 game I break even.  Then, I cross my fingers for a 24-6 type game that wins me both bets.

Not only am I on it already in multiple ways, but I Finally get to start Ben at my Flex position in Fantasy this week along side Drew Brees.

LOCK OF THE WEEK in my opinion.

1st half bet is probably the safest.

Sportsmind · Answer

Be careful..........too big a spread for me in the NFL

komot · Answer

if i had to bet i&#x27;d be all over pit, but the spread is just so damn large. i&#x27;d rather roll with indy -3 on the road sunday night.

OmahaStylee · Answer

Some seem to believe Colt McCoy will have a productive game vs the Steelers. I disagree. McCoy had nervous feet in the preseason, and never looked comfortable out there in my opinion. McCoys best preseason showing was 13/13 in 2 quarters vs the Bears, but he took 3 sacks and fumbled as well. He finished preseason with 6 sacks taken, 4 turnovers, 0 td&#x27;s. This is my new definition of getting thrown to the wolves. I am not sure how anyone could back the Browns this week, even with their impressive ATS stats and history of playing tight games with the Steelers. I am laying 20.5 in a "pleaser" with the Steelers, that&#x27;s how I feel about the Browns chances. GL

QBs  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/1626/jake-delhomme and  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/396113/seneca-wallace remain out with sprained ankles, and both have been all but&#xD;&#xA; ruled out for Sunday&#x27;s game against Pittsburgh.

CashVault · Answer

Clevelands D is tough to run on..and Big Ben won't be in game form. He can be prepared mentally but the game speed - he will have to adjust to, not to mention the hits he will take = something a QB can't ever prepare for, from a physical standpoint.

Pitt don't have to win by 14pts in this game. This is like WK1 for Big Ben and they'll be happy to escape with a W. Also, the entire world is already on Pitt, lots of value for Brownies backers.

I am leaning Browns here......

Sutty · Answer

2 TDs in the NFL is a lot, especially in a division game. It looks easy. Smells like a trap. That said, I&#x27;ll probably make a Homer play.BOL

Osirus13 · Answer

I think the steelers roll but how is mccoy awful. Has he even played? Hes already awful? Dumb comment
