NFL: Five TNF Bold Predictions: Steelers vs. Browns Week 12


This divisional rivalry features two teams headed in opposite directions. The Browns will finish in last place in their division, while the Steelers just won a huge game against the Ravens and have sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Here are five bold predictions for their game on TNF on Prime!

The Steelers Score A Defensive TD and Special Teams TD

The Steelers have a playmaking defense led by TJ Watt. They will get sacks and probably force turnovers, too. They also have a very good return man in Calvin Austin and a great special teams unit. 

Russell Wilson Throws for 300 Yards and 3 TDs

Wilson has been good for the Steelers and has helped open up their offense. The Browns gave up a ton of yards and points last week to the Saints, so look for the Steelers to continue that trend.

Jameis Winston Throws 3 TD and 3 INT

Winston has been dropping back to pass a lot since he took over as the starting QB for the Browns. He can certainly throw for plenty of yards and TDs, however, that usually comes with turnovers, too. 

George Pickens Has Over 100 Yards Receiving And 2 TDs

Since Wilson took over as the Steelers QB, Pickens has developed into a number-one WR. He is the clear favorite target of Wilson in the passing game, and the two will likely hook up on at least one, if not two, deep balls. 

Cedric Tillman Makes 8 Catches For 80 Yards and a TD

Tillman has seen at least 8 targets in four straight games and has topped 75 yards in 3 of those games. Although he only has 8 catches in one of them, this week could be the second time he does it. The yards are well within his range of outcomes, and he has found the endzone 3 times in the past 4 weeks (2 vs. BAL and 1 vs. LAC).
