I'm going with the Steelers on this one. They are now starting to get healthy and they are also starting to run the ball more effectively. They will have Willy Parker back healthy it looks like as he is probable in this one to go along with Mendenhall. Additionally it looks like Troy Polamalou will return which will give the defense a big boost even though they are playing the Browns who have scored a total... yes total of 15 points in three games on the road this year. While the Browns have played some decent defenses this year they will face the best one yet in my opinion. Steelers weakness was in pass coverage without Polamalou as they rank 14th, but they were facing an average opponent of 15th ranked pass offense here on Sunday they face the 31st passing offense. I don't think the Browns can run on the Steelers as they are #2 in run defense. ON the other side of the ball the Steelers are ranked 4th in passing offense and should be able to pass on the Browns were are better than they are given credit with the 9th ranked pass defense, but they have faced an average 17th ranked passing offense. While they may be decent against the pass they are dead last in the league against the run which will give the Steelers and opportunity to really get the running game going. Bottom line the Browns do not score points, and the Steelers have a defense that will stop you from scoring points. I'm taking the points in this one!
