Charlie Batch won’t be throwing interceptions and the Steelers won’t fumble the ball eight times, but it won’t matter as the Steelers drop a tough division game to the Browns.
Cleveland is still a tough place to play and the Browns stock is rising.
Roethlisberger’s old friend Paul Kruger will be a pain to deal with and the Browns’ offense (no matter who is under center) will make enough plays to pull off the upset.
The Steelers went only 3-3 in the division last year and it is hard to envision them doing much better this season.
Prediction: Browns 17-13 (6-5)
