Browns vs. Steelers Prediction and Pick
Despite their earlier loss to the Steelers, I'm going to back the Browns to get the job done in Week 17.
41.93% of their offensive yards gained have come on the ground, and they're averaging 5.1 yards per carry which is the best mark in the NFL. Now, they get to face the league's worst run defense. The Steelers are giving up an average of 4.8 yards per carry, which is last among all teams.
Cleveland faced the second worst run defense in the NFL in Week 16 in the Packers, and torched them for 8.8 yards per carry. I expect a similar result for them this week.
The Chiefs exploited the Steelers offense for being as bad as they truly are. Pittsburgh ranks 28th in yards per play, gaining an average of only 5.0. That's only going to get worse when they go up against the Browns defense which is seventh in the NFL in opponent yards per play.
