NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take Pittsburgh. According to latest NFL trends, the Steelers are 11-4 against the spread in their last 15 games following a straight up loss and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous contest. The Browns, meanwhile, are 1-4 against the number in their last five games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden has been ruled out and Cleveland beat writers believe that backup Colt McCoy won’t play either. Thus, either Thad Lewis or Josh Johnson will start for the Browns, which could be an utter disaster. Pittsburgh’s offense has disappeared over the past month and a half, but Ben Roethlisberger and Co. should score plenty of points on Sunday thanks to great field position and golden opportunities.
