NFL Week 14 Winning Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns: Unleash the Hell!
RPJ $yndicate Picks - These are our straight picks. Only one game tonight and we will be back later in the week with the rest of our weekend picks.
Pittsburgh Steelers (-9.5) at Cleveland Browns - Accuscore is calling for a Steelers 23-13 win tonight. We like how they are thinking but we are not sure the Browns will be able to put up 13 points tonight in the snow. After Mike Tomlin’s now famous unleash hell comments the Steelers responded with a freakish loss at home to the Raiders. If you watched that game you know that the football gods screwed with the Steelers just like the god did when the Raiders beat the Bengals by freak plays. We do think the Steelers will unleash hell and we would not be surprised to see them win out. Big Ben is back, Mendenhall looks good, Holmes and Wallace will fill in just fine for a banged up Hines Ward tonight. Remember what this game is, the defending Super Bowl champs are playing the Browns. The 1-11 Browns. The Brady Quinn led Browns and we all know that no good QBs come out of Notre Dame since Joe Montana. Notre Dame’s season may be over but we will still find ways to rip them. Cleveland’s D is atrocious. They give up twice the rushing yards that Pittsburgh does and they gave up 26 points a game, which is 4th worst in the league. We think Pittsburgh does unleash hell tonight, even in the snow. We are betting Pittsburgh to win and cover!!
