Each week, our football staff at DK Pittsburgh Sports predicts the Steelers' game, and below are the picks for the game against the Browns, Monday, 8:15 p.m., at Heinz Field.
For a full preview, check my Kickoff.
Dale Lolley (8-7): Ben Roethlisberger is 25-3-1 in his career against the Browns. Also, Cleveland is 2-5 on the road and averaging 16 points per game over its past 10 games. Oh, I guess we should mention that this is Roethlisberger's final regular-season start at Heinz Field and that the Steelers have won 19 consecutive home Monday night games. Steelers, 20-17
Ramon Foster (6-9): I got Steelers either way! They can’t lose! The city will celebrate No. 7 and show the Browns something they’ve never had, and that’s a winner at QB! Steelers, 27-18
Chris Carter (8-7): It will be a bizarre game between two inconsistent this year. This, like the 2019 Heinz Field win over the Browns with Devlin Hodges at quarterback, will be a low-scoring game in which Roethlisberger puts together enough in the end to win his sendoff. Steelers, 23-16
Tom Reed (7-8): To paraphrase the Big Lebowski, "New stuff has come to light." We made our picks before the Bengals won the division and the Browns were eliminated from the playoff race. I had picked Cleveland, 20-17, but the Browns have little incentive now and the Steelers want to send Ben out a winner. Steelers, 24-17
Eddie Provident (8-7): If there's one team I trust less than the Steelers in the AFC North, it's the Browns. Couple Cleveland's inconsistency with Big Ben's last home regular season game and I think the Steelers finally give fans a relaxing win. After all, this football team is due to show some emotion. Steelers, 24-10
Dejan Kovacevic (7-8): Ben vs. the Browns? Ha! Ben vs. Baker Mayfield? HA! Steelers, 31-18
