Result:
LOSS

Cleveland came close to beating Pittsburgh last week as a big dog, 21-18. Cleveland's strength is a talented offensive line and the defense was impressive, holding Pittsburgh star running back Le'Veon Bell to 32 yards on 10 carries. This is a young, aggressive defense, which has been revamped under coordinator Gregg Williams. The Steelers ran for just 35 total yards, 2.1 yards per carry.  Baltimore has failed to cover five of the last seven against losing teams. Quarterback Joe Flacco missed most of the offseason and the preseason due to injury and directed a conservative attack in Week 1, completing just 9-of-17 passes for 121 yards against the Bengals. NFL road teams that closed out last season with six or more losses in the final eight games off a loss against a division rival in the first month of the season are 51-22 against the spread. And the Browns have covered five of the last seven against the Ravens. Play Cleveland.
