NFL Week 6 Expert Picks – Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Polamalu’s Return Means Big Things For Steelers’ Bettors Against Cleveland
It’s been downright ugly for the Steelers since their Super Bowl victory. They won a narrow game over the Titans to open the season, but then lost Troy Polamalu…up until today. The hard hitting Samoan safety is back after injuring his knee and that means that this Steelers defense can regain the identity it has lost in the fourth quarter.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been getting beaten down on the betting line by going 1-4 ATS this season, and pushing the OVER three times already. [soliloquy id=”82219″] That’s the bad news. The good news is that with Polamalu healthy again, their defense won’t give up in the fourth quarter like it has against Detroit, San Diego and Cincinnati in recent weeks. The Steelers are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 against Cleveland, a trend you can certainly bank on this weekend.
Cleveland Browns (1-4) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2)
Sunday, October 18 th — Heinz Field, Pittsburgh — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: Pittsburgh -14 (38)
The Browns are an absolute embarrassment right now. It doesn’t matter if Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson is under center because they both suck, and they both have nobody to throw to. With Kellen Winslow emerging as a top tight-end in Tampa, and Braylon catching miracles in New York, the Browns have left their receiving corps to a bunch of no names that only an idiot like Eric Mangini would want. Against Buffalo, they had two receptions last weekend. Two for the entire team!
The Cleveland Browns never play well on the road, which their 1-5 ATS record in 6 road efforts will testify. Take the Steelers, don’t be scare of the points, and watch Pittsburgh push the OVER all by themselves.
Free Pick: Pittsburgh -14 (OVER)

The Steelers get some key players back for this game, most notably Troy Polamalu which will definitely help stabalize a defense that has been very inconsistent in his absence.
Steelers win, but the Browns find a way to keep it within a two touchdown game .
