![]() Vegas Line: Cleveland + 3 Over/Under: 33 This should be an interesting game after both teams lost last week! The Steelers should have beaten the Ravens but loss because their place kicker missed 4 field goals! Mean while the Browns coaches had brain lock in the last two minutes of the Bears game and let Chicago score 14 points in the last two minutes to tie the game up? The Steelers will try to pound Jerome Bettis and mix in the speed of Amos Zereoue around the end if he is able to play! Kordell is still very inconsistant at throwing the ball and will run out of the pocket when flushed. Kordell did look good throwing the ball against the Ravens and had a few perfect passes drop by his receivers. WR. Hines Ward,will be Kordell's go to guy and former Browns WR. Lenzie Jackson might be activated. Put the Bears game out of their head! I'm glad this is a home game and the crowd will help them out! Stop the Bus on first and second downs and force QB.Kordell Stewart, to try and beat you. The Steelers offensive line isn't very good right now. The Browns offensive line needs to protect Tim Couch. The Steelers defense still plays a 3-4 and mix the LB's on blitzes. We should be able to throw on them! Both teams suffered losses last week but the Browns loss was more devastating. The Browns played the Ravens allot better then the Steelers did and if the crowd goes wild for the Browns I think they'll win! |

After both teams came off very tough losses the week before, in games they both should have won. There was no let down by either team! The Steelers were the better team talent wise! The Steelers offensive line dominated the Browns and RB.Bettis, couldn't be stopped!
The Browns offensive line couldn't give Couch, the time too throw in the second half. They couldn't open any holes up for what little running game that we have! Watching the Steelers a few times this year I would say they should be rated in the top three of the AFC!
