Cleveland was an abysmal 1-15 SU and 5-11 ATS last season, but the young Browns have more experience and talent at their disposal this year.

Rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer has been named the starter by coach Hue Jackson, and it's hard to argue with that choice considering the competition. He can both throw and run, and RB Isaiah Crowell should be able to do a fair amount of damage on the ground after accumulating a career-high 952 rushing yards to go with seven touchdowns last season.

The Steelers are as always led by "Big Ben" Roethlisberger under center and Le'Veon Bell at RB, and it's hard to argue that they're the more talented team. I just think the bookies have put too much emphasis on Cleveland's last season when making the spread for this contest, and I expect an improved Browns side to keep it reasonably close.

My selection is an 8* play on Cleveland Browns.
