Matchup to Watch according to USA Today Sports Weekly:

Matchup to Watch according to Browns Backers of North Jersey:

Browns QB Seneca Wallace/RB Peyton Hills vs Steelers Defense

Who will win and why according to USA Today Sports Weekly:

Charlie Batch lacks Roethlisberger's mobility and strong arm, but he showed last weekend that he can manage a game plenty well with the Steeler's strong group of receivers.  He won't need to do much to distance Pittsburgh from Cleveland's impotent offense.

Steelers:  21    Browns: 13

Who will win and why according to Browns Backers of North Jersey:

The Browns defense held their own in the last game versus the Steelers and the same should be the case this week, especially if Roethlisberger does not play.  Seneca Wallace and Peyton Hillis have to keep the Steeler defense off balance and Shurmer needs to keep calling Hillis' number.    The Browns will start 2012 on the right foot and we can start preparing for next season.

Browns:  24   Steelers:  17 

Browns Backers of North Jersey President Brian Potten's Pick:

Steelers:  23    Browns:  16
