10. Pittsburgh Steelers (-9)
Key stat: Steelers have been held scoreless in 4 of their last 8 quarters
The expression “defenses win championships” is going to be put to the test with Big Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have topped 30 points just once in the last seven games and in their last three games, they have scored 19, 17, and 15 points.
This team is trending down at the wrong time and they look like a team that has to be dragged across the finish line by their defense instead of taking a lead and stepping on the other team’s neck. Not a great look as we head down the stretch.
9. Cleveland Browns (+4)
Key stat: Myles Garrett is the first player to be suspended indefinitely for his actions on the field and also selected as a team’s representative for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.
I don’t know if that is true, but it sure feels true right?
