Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers u32.0 (-110) - Sunday December 28th ‘08 1:00p
The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns by just a 10-6 score with both teams at full strength in Cleveland earlier this season, and we would not be surprised to see a similar point output in this contest, with the Browns down to their third string quarterback and the Steelers resting regulars. This game should have the look and feel of a preseason contest, as it means nothing to the Steelers and the Browns quit playing a while ago. Pittsburgh is locked into the number two seed in the AFC, and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has publicly stated that he could use some tine off after getting some big hits vs. the Tennessee Titans last week. If Coach Mike Tomlin continues his pattern from last year, Big Ben should get his wish. The Steelers were locked into a playoff spot entering the season finale, and Tomlin sat his regulars in a loss to a Baltimore Ravens team that was in disarray with a lame duck coach. Thus, Ben Hines and the rest of the regulars can count on a lot of time off this week. The Browns on the other hand need no excuse to keep this total down, although being reduced to Ken Dorsey at quarterback sure helps. This team was shut out by the awful Cincinnati Bengals last week, and Cleveland has miserably gone five consecutive games without scoring more than 10 points, being held to single-digits in four of those games. Look for a sloppy, boring game in Pittsburgh this Sunday. NFL Free Week 17 Pick: Browns, Steelers Under 32 (-110) - Courtesy of LT Profits
