Result: Win
This is a 10* "TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER" on the OVER between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

A couple of division rivals with big expectations collide to open the 2014/15 campaign and while these two teams have played to some traditionally lower-scoring affairs, I think their first game sets up as a higher-scoring shootout. Three of these team's last four in the series have gone UNDER the number including both last season. Pittsburgh won 27-11 in late November, the total staying below the posted total of 40.5 in that one; the Steelers then also won at home 20-7 in late December, the total staying well UNDER the posted number of 44.5 in that one. However, I feel that all signs point to their opener eclipsing this tiny number. The Browns won just four games in 2013 but come in with optimism with a new head coach, a new front office and with what they hope will be their franchise QB for another decade. However, winning in Pittsburgh against an equally determined Steelers team is not going to be easy. As a situational handicapper, these are exactly the types of contests I keep my eyes open for, we can expect the visitors to air out it out today as they try to steal one from the division heavy weight. Pittsburgh closed the 2013 season 8-4 and missed the playoffs only because of a tie-breaker. Despite his age, Steelers' QB Ben Roethlisberger is still the premier pivot in the division and after the way it started last year, we can absolutely expect the home side to step on the gas from start to finish. All signs finally point to a higher-scoring affair.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 24, Cleveland 20
