    The Bills winning doesn't help the Browns playoff chances at all. You can just about pencil them in as the #5 seed. So much for "America's Team". They suck.....  Mixed emotions that the Bills won, but I'm sure glad the Cowboys lost.

    My heart desperately wants to predict a winner but my brain isn't having it. Brain keeps saying we're in deep shit and this game, this exact game at Pittsburgh, with the season on the line, with a chance for the sweep, and everything else this game means to our fans and players...is going to be a disaster. 

    I THINK this is my brain's way of not knowing what to do when we have the better team. When WE'RE the team who won 3 in a row. When WE won the previous game and shut them the freak down. 

    A friend of mine told me you never bet with your heart, and I'm certain that's sound advice, but this week my brain can kiss my ass and I FULLY expect a dominating performance that will leave the Steelers' fans crying on the tits of their mothers. Send these assholes HOME for the post season.

    ONE MAN'S OPINION CLE-PIT II

    Past history versus the here and now.

    What are the two differences between Joe turkey Jones and Myles Garrett ?  1. Joe had a cool nickname. 2. Joe got away with it, dumb Myles didn't.

    Speaking of the dearly departed  Myles Garrett is a premier pass rusher, who might be the most valuable player on Cleveland’s defense. But the Browns don’t need the suspended Garrett to beat the Steelers a second time in three weeks. The Browns have their swagger reeling off three straight victories, including defeating the Steelers, 21-7, two weeks ago when Garrett drew a season-long suspension after ripping off the helmet of Mason Rudolph and hitting the quarterback in the head with it. 

    Baker Mayfield is playing his best ball, with an eight-to-one touchdown-to-interception ratio in his past four games. Mayfield has plenty of firepower with Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

     The Steelers don’t have an adequate backup quarterback for Ben Roethlisberger. Neither Rudolph, nor third-stringer Delvin Hodges are the answer. The Steelers are likely down their two best skill position players, too, with wide receiver JuJu Smith-Shuster dealing with a concussion and James Connor bothered by a shoulder injury. Pittsburgh also is without suspended center Maurkice Pouncey another week.  

    The BROWNS are 2 point favorites, O/U 39 and will be double digit favorites next week.

    SO what to do? EASY PART II, take the BROWNS -2 and they should put up enough points to go OVER 39 for a bit and sit back and watch a good game.  🙂
