Pittsburgh at Cleveland
Bookmaker.com line – Pittsburgh -10 (36.5)
You snooze, you lose. Assuming the 6-6 Steelers don’t run the table and sneak into the playoffs, they’ll feel the sting of that loss to Oakland for some time. Like Rosanne Rosanadana said on SNL, if it’s not one thing (sexual assault civil suit against Roethlisberger) it’s another (injury to Polamalu). You can argue that the Super Bowl win last season gave the Steelers house money to burn, but that doesn’t go down well with a fan base that lives and dies with them each week. There is a consolation prize, though – the Browns, who will be at 1-12 around midnight EST on Thursday.
