Buffalo Rumblings
The Pittsburgh Steelers traveled a few hours north up to the rust best for a game against the Cleveland Browns under the lights of Thursday Night Football on Prime. These AFC North rivals have plenty of history and there are playoff implications at stake in Week 12.
At least that’s the case for the Steelers, who lead the division at 8-2, while the Browns sit in the basement at 2-8. The oddsmakers at FanDuel Sportsbook have Pittsburgh at 3.5-point favorites (-3.5) entering tonight’s game, with an O/U set at a low 36.5 points.
The Steelers are a bit of a surprise this season, mostly because no one know what they’d get from either offseason quarterback addition. To this point the results have been favorable whether it’s Justin Fields or now Russell Wilson leading the offense. With Wilson now at quarterback, the moon ball has returned to Pittsburgh. That said, the offense has struggled to put up a ton of points too often, and their red zone production with Wilson leaves a heck of a lot to be desired.
Bills Mafia should be all in on the Browns this evening. Truthfully, rooting for Pittsburgh to lose each week is in Buffalo’s best interests as it relates to playoff seeding.
That said, I don’t see how the Steelers escape a tough game against the Ravens in Week 11 to lose tonight against a Cleveland team where quarterback Jameis Winston will be making his first true cold-weather start. It might be an entertaining evening of go-routes and turnovers, but Pittsburgh’s heading home with another win.
Pittsburgh Steelers 20, Cleveland Browns 17
Here’s your open thread for Week 12 of Thursday Night Football. As always, be kind to one another, and in all things... Go Bills!
