NFL

AFC North battle for the wooden spoon takes place at Heinz Field tonight, when Pittsburgh host bitter rivals Cleveland.

Baring a major miracle ( can you have a major miracle, or are they all major ?), neither of these two will be involved in the post season, they are playing for pride and bragging rights.

The Steelers own this series, winning the last 6 and 12 of the last 13, Cleveland have lost all 4 divisional games this season.

Set to be a pretty unpleasant evening, snow, maybe rain, strong winds and very cold. There is no doubt that it will be easier to run the ball and Pittsburgh are stronger in that department, both defensively and offensively.

Add to the equation that the Browns look set to hand rookie quarterback, Derek Anderson his first NFL start, due to the wrist injury to Charlie Frye and we can see that The Steelers hold most of the cards. Going to side with them to cover the spread.

The total points have tumbled to 32.5 in Vegas, if your bookie is slow to change, going under the original line of 3-4 points more, would be the smart play.

3 points Pittsburgh -7 points 1.91 general quote.

Good Luck.
