Pro Football Network: Browns 24, Steelers 20
Ben Rolfe writes: "An elimination game on Monday Night Football makes for exciting prime-time viewing. Baker Mayfield made some bad mistakes to lose last week, and he cannot afford to be that sloppy again. The Steelers looked like a complete mess against the Chiefs, and the Browns’ defense should shut them down. The key here will be whether the Browns’ offense can get to around 24-27 points."

Draft Kings: Take the under in Browns vs. Steelers game
It writes: "I usually hate to bet the under, especially with a point total this low, but this divisional matchup has the makings of a low-scoring affair. The Steelers are struggling to find spark in any phase of the game, and their rushing defense is getting gashed on every attempt. If the Browns establish the run early as they so often do, they could dominate time of possession run this thing out and keep the score low to stay alive in the playoff race."

Fansided: Browns 27, Steelers 21
Randy Gurzi writes: "Both Cleveland and Pittsburgh suffered losses in Week 16 — although Pittsburgh’s was a blowout as the Chiefs really took it to them. Cleveland lost a close one but they still proved to be much closer to making a run than the Steelers are. This weekend should belong to the boys in orange and brown. Look for them to put themselves in a position to challenge Cincinnati in Week 18 as they beat the Steelers 27-21, avenging their earlier loss in the season — and ending Pittsburgh’s hopes for the second year in a row.
