I normally do not play week 17 and start to get ready for the playoffs. Starting tonight is playoffs though. new season. Games are being written as we sleep. That's how I like it.
Today I am fading Pittsburgh.
With all of the talk about how so many teams have nothing to play for this week I think Pittsburghs situation is being misread. They had the ball in their court last week and blew it, not enough light is shed on that. I think it is tough getting over a loss like that...and the perception is and the expectation is to dismantle a lowly cleveland team. I expect Pitt to win but I think Cleveland will stay within this big number. Johnny Manziel(whos not starting) had a good game vs Pittsburgh even though it was a blowout. Cleveland also was preparing for Landry that game and did well vs him until he got hurt and Big Ben came in and couldn't be stopped. The perception is Big ben and Antonio Brown can play pitch and catch vs Cleveland....no doubt Antonio Brown will have a bounce back game because he always struggles vs the Ravens... I had a stronger feel for Cleveland with Johnny Manziel out and Austin Davis getting this start. Another backup qb for Pittsburgh to play....who have struggled vs back up qbs all season. But again this is another, "I have reallllllllllllly nothing to play for vs a team who does in the nfl".... lets see what happens.
Cleveland Browns +13 -102
