The Pittsburgh Steelers are riding high coming into Week 12. After their victory over Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens last week they now stand alone atop of the AFC North Division. But they cannot afford to get relaxed just yet. With seven weeks remaining in the season, the Ravens are more than capable of recapturing the lead. The Steelers will also be looking for a little more out of their offense this week against the Browns. Despite the win, they failed to get into the endzone against Baltimore and had to rely on their kicker Chris Boswell, who went 6/6 on field goals.
The Browns on the other hand don’t have as much to play for. There was initially a lot of promise among the fanbase when Jameis Winston secured their first win over the Jacksonville Jaguars after their starting quarterback Deshaun Watson was ruled out with a season-ending injury. But since then, the Browns have not have had much to celebrate. They are riding a seven-game losing streak with their last win coming on September 15.
The Steelers come into this matchup as the favorite, by not by as much as one might think — just 3.5 points.
So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
