Chris’ Pick

I get the case to be made for either side here, but I’m going to side with the under here. This to me just feels like one of those knock down and drag out AFC North battles that we’ve become accustomed to seeing in the past. The Browns defense has been solid all season, and that Pittsburgh game still gets blown out of proportion because of the numbers on the surface, but the Browns gave the Steelers two defensive TDs in that game. I think this one could be a 20-17 kind of game, so give me the under here.
