Pittsburgh Steelers Form

Pittsburgh go into this short week on the back of a big division win that extended their win streak to five games and took their record to 8-2.

The Steelers opened up with three straight victories, only to end September with a 27-24 defeat in Indianapolis.

They then lost 20-17 at home to Dallas, but that is the last time they tasted defeat, with a 32-13 win in Las Vegas sparking this five-game tear.

Pittsburgh backed up the victory with home wins against the two New York teams, beating the Jets 37-15 before downing the Giants 26-18.

The Steelers then went out on the road to beat Washington 28-27, before returning home to take down division rivals Baltimore, 18-16.

Cleveland Browns Form

Cleveland go into this matchup having now lost their last two games to fall to 2-8 on the season.

The Browns rebounded from an opening-day defeat to Dallas with an 18-13 win in Jacksonville, but it has been almost all downhill since then.

A 21-15 loss at home to the New York Giants proved to be the start of a five-game skid that saw them lose 20-16 in Las Vegas, 34-13 in Washington and 20-16 in Philadelphia, before returning home for a 21-14 defeat to Cincinnati.

Cleveland finally stopped the rot when they pulled off a shock win over AFC North rivals Baltimore, 29-24.

The Browns failed to build on that though, losing 27-10 to the Los Angeles Chargers before falling 35-14 in New Orleans.

Verdict

The AFC North can be wildly unpredictable at times, but we have to go with Pittsburgh.

They are the better team in better form, and that defense continues to do a number on opposition offenses.
