NFL Week 14 Betting: Browns vs. Steelers Free Picks

Thursday, December 8

The Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers face each other on Thursday at Heinz Field.

Week Thirteen in the league where they play for pay kicks in the Steel City and it looks as if the 4-8 Brownies may have a say in who claims the AFC North.

The Ravens just fi nished dusting off the Browns last week in Cleveland and should be more than happy to see them at home in a few weeks.

Pittsburgh also gets the benefit of facing the Browns twice in the next month, beginning Thursday night at Heinz Field.

A 21-4 SU mark in this series since 1999 certainly suggests that the Steelers improve to 10-3 on the season and keep a share of the division lead.

However, we’re just not interested in laying this kind of wood in a division game, especially with Pittsburgh 0-8 ATS as double-digit chalk off a SU win when facing a sub .500 opponent off an ATS loss.

Our betting database also points out that the Tomlin’s are 1-3 SU and 0-4 ATS after clashing with Cincy – which ties in nicely to Cleveland’s 6-0 ATS mark as dogs off back-to-back SU losses when taking on a foe off back-to-back SU wins with the last win coming by 7 or more points.

BSN Sports realize that the not-so-real Colt McCoy is finding life in the NFL (6-14 SU and 6-13-1 ATS, including 0-7 SU and 1-6 ATS versus the AFC North) a bit more challenging than his days at Texas (45-8 SU as a starter), but in a battle of Top 10-ranked defenses, we’ll grab the two-touchdowns and point to Pitt’s lethargic wins over Indy, Jacksonville and Kansas City.
