PITT/CLE--help me out, PLEASE

[Jetplane]

I see a ton of people just disregarding pittsburgh. This worries me a bit because my numbers and my decision lay with PITT. I only have 1 week of stats so it's not much to go on but why is everyone so sold on CLE winning SU/etc?

My balls ache from yesterday--if i should hedge I wanna know why.

division game at home on a sunday night when the players have been told all offseason they can't beat pitt.. sometimes you gotta throw the numbers out

 

[FearTheRaven]

bad game by clev with great game by pitt, makes for great perception

 

[Jake-The-Snake]

I'm gonna tell you as a Browns fan it is hard to put cold hard $$ down on them .... but I do have that "feeling" about tonight's game ....

I just can't stand watching Romeo standing on the sideline looking totally lost .... I hope I don't see that look tonight !!$$!!

I have the game sitting on 34-17 PITT >:X

Peek and Jerevicius are out that has SOME impact on the game. I think Vickers either steps up... and Edwards makes key plays or you are toast. This Steelers team has an offense going.

The Browns have been told they can't beat the Steelers for 5 years. Not sure this offseason means anything different. The Steelers have won 9 in a row against the Brownies, and have an average MOV of 22 in their last 4 meetings.

Hello fellow Iowan > That's what I'm saying... this Steelers team is vamped, does nobody see? Just a couple switches in and out and they are pretty decent looking. I know all that about perception... but history--goes before perception. The minimum is 1 TD at this point.

 

[midman2161]

Ultimately the Steelers are better and in the long run have a much better shot at the SB.. but I just get the feeling that this is a big statement game for the Brownies, and they will not get embarrassed 2 weeks at home.

 

[Jetplane]

I guess with the addition of Donte the Browns do have a weapon. I overlooked that... dammit. The browns are used to getting disgraced though. Their playbook or their coaching just isn't working. They have the players.

 

[Syklone]

Perception is key. Cleveland is not as bad as they looked.

Was at the Steelers game last week and they looked great, but am still concerned with the OL. That defense will be great.

It will be windy tonight, so this game could be low scoring and close.

under is the play, weather is gonna be bad, bad ,bad!:toast::aktion033

 

[BORO]

Don't forget about Winslow.

 

[Syklone]

Cribbs scares me more than anybody.

He has made a career against the Steelers.

 

[ToothedTeddy]

opening line hasnt moved much even with %'s on pitt. that tells me browns are the right side. and catching pts at home vs a rival. bigbookie needs them big. every sign pointing to Cleveland here.

strong winds are my biggest concern

 

[BadCo]

Well the public,squares whatever you want to call them are having a good day with the mop flopping their way i.e. G.Bay and Indy.

Now Zona and T.Bay adding insult to injury.

No reason to see this changing tonight it's just not the bookies day.

 

[Samhain]

Cleveland is way overrated. With that being said that number is to low. In my opinion Cleveland covers.

 

[Blackman]

Pittsburgh owns Cleveland and it will continue tonight. Pittsburgh has the better offense and the better defense. Cleveland has the pressure on them to win and look good on national tv and they will not live up to that pressure. Pittsburgh is used to playing on national tv and will live up to being a good team. Take Pittsburgh.

 

[Jetplane]

The wind does scare me... if it's RB vs RB. I'd take the 7 pts I think. It's close but with bad weather i'd say the line should be maybe -4.5

I'm already locked in, I'll hope for the best. My top game has come through for me. This is the other one.

Cribbs got injured... probably gonna play today. I gotta hope Willie got some good words from the bus.
