Cleveland +14 over PITTSBURGH PINNACLE
Home side most certainly has an advantage on these Thursday night games but five of the six Thursday games thus far has seen the victorious team win by 10 or less. The only blowout was Seattle over Philly last week. The Steelers come into this one extremely banged up and that includes QB Ben Roethlisberger (hand). Roethlisberger at home usually spells big yardage and multiple scores but the Browns bring in a very good pass defense and there is no reason for Big Ben to throw the ball that much. The Browns never allow more than the one passing TD and rarely more than 200 passing yards. Expect a moderate game from Big Ben and conservative approach from the Steelers. The Browns lost by a combined 79-19 in two games to the Steelers last season. If nothing else, they’ll be looking to restore some dignity and work their rear ends off to give themselves a shot. Also note that in 10 of 12 games this season the Brownies have been within this range and the total here of 38½ suggests they’ll stay within range in this one too. Play: Cleveland +14 (Risking 2.08 units to win 2).Comment
