Cleveland Browns Riding High At 5-2

Cleveland go into this big AFC North showdown having made a great start to the season with five wins in their first seven games.

The Browns opened with a 34-10 defeat in Jacksonville, but rebounded in impressive fashion with three consecutive victories.

They got off the mark with a 23-19 success at Tampa Bay, before returning home to beat Carolina 21-18 and Pittsburgh 27-24.

Cleveland’s run was ended by a 17-12 loss at the New York Jets, but they have rebounded over the past couple of games with a couple of close wins.

The Browns took down division rivals Baltimore at home, 13-10, before heading to Tennessee to edge the Titans, 27-24.

Pittsburgh Steelers Riding Three-Game Win Streak

Pittsburgh return home after extending their current win streak to three games with the victory in Paris.

The Steelers kicked off the campaign with a 20-13 victory over Atlanta, only to then drop their road opener against New England, 20-3.

They rebounded a week later to upset AFC North foes Cincinnati, 30-27, but again failed to back up a victory as they lost 27-24 at Cleveland.

Pittsburgh have not lost since though, sparking this current surge with a 34-22 victory over Indianapolis.

The Steelers followed that up with a 26-19 overtime win in Tampa, before heading to France for a 16-10 success against New Orleans.

Verdict

CLE Browns @ PIT Steelers

Pittsburgh return home on a roll, but that win over New Orleans was uninspiring and a transatlantic flight could take its toll.

Cleveland have bags of momentum and have already beaten the Steelers this season, so give us the Browns and the free points.
