The situation for the Steelers is pretty clear; a win locks up the North and a first-round bye in the playoffs as the second seed in the conference. Pittsburgh beat Cleveland 28-10 earlier this year at home, is 6-1 on the road this season, and has won five of its last six games overall.
A loss would leave the Browns with the same record as last season overall (5-11), at home (3-5), and in the division (1-5) leaving some serious doubts as to which direction this team is headed. A win would serve the purpose of giving them some sense of direction.
Pittsburgh is 8-1 SU in its last nine games in Cleveland and 13-1 straight-up in its last 14 games against the Browns overall, but just 2-6 ATS in the last six meetings. Cleveland will not win this game, but will do everything in its power to make its bitter division rival earn the North title.
The odds makers have the Pittsburgh Steelers as a -6.5 point favorite with an over/under of 37.5.
