Sporting News: Steelers 20, Browns 17

Vinnie Iyer writes: "The Steelers have a chance to have another winning season under Mike Tomlin. They also know the Patriots and Dolphins are in tough spots with their division games, opening the door for repeat trip to the playoffs. Trust them at home with the defense playing well vs. Deshaun Watson with Kenny Pickett continuing to come through in the clutch."

Bill Speros writes: "Neither team is in the playoff chase. Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski will be among the “Black Monday” casualties, unless he gets the boot Sunday night. Mike Tomlin is Coach for Life in Pittsburgh. And his team is still in this thing mathematically.   They need the following: a win over Browns, a Patriots loss to Bills and a Dolphins loss to Jets. All three games have 1 p.m. kickoffs."

OddsChecker: Go with the Steelers to cover vs. Browns

It writes: "The Steelers come into this one as 3 point favorites. That’s right at the sweet spot, as this is likely to be another tight low scoring affair. Pittsburgh has won their last two by 3 points and the Browns offense has been MIA for weeks now. So, I’m taking Pittsburgh to put it together with everything on the line."

Pro Football Network: Bet the Steelers to cover vs. Browns

BJ Rudell writes: "I’m still not clear why Cleveland started Deshaun Watson in a meaningless game. An ACL tear could set back this franchise another year while making their $250 million (guaranteed) investment an even bigger on-the-field liability in 2024 and beyond."

Sporting News: Browns 23, Steelers 20

Bill Bender writes: "Mike Tomlin can still sneak the Steelers into the playoffs, just like last year. Kenny Pickett saved the season against Baltimore in Week 17. The Browns have a chance to play spoiler with Deshaun Watson for the second straight week, however, and they can sweep the season series with Pittsburgh for the first time since 1988. Even if the Steelers can't get in the playoffs, this game is going to be heated."
