Anyone else think the Browns can win more than the Steelers?

  I don't think so. I really think the Browns need to start 2-0 in order to just avoid this season being a total disaster.
  
  The 7 opponents the Browns play weeks 3-10 all won at least 9 games last year. Obviously things change year to year in the NFL, but some of them (Jets, Ravens) appear to still be on the rise while others (Steelers, Patriots) are very consistent franchises.
  
  If we don't get some momentum going in the first couple of weeks I think it's going to snowball into a 2-7 type start.

  no...in fact the Browns just may be on the clock.

  Pittsburgh will be...
  
  Atlanta - W 1-0...won't be easy but I'll say like 23-20 victory
  at Tennessee - L 1-1
  ...either way they'll win one, lose one
  
  at Tampa Bay - W 2-1
  Baltimore - L 2-2
  
  Cleveland - L 2-3
  
  at Miami - W 3-3
  at New Orleans - W 4-3...after losing one they shouldn't against Cleveland, they'll get one back
  at Cincinnati - L 4-4...rough timing coming off the primetime game against the Saints
  
  New England - L 4-5
  Oakland - W 5-5
  at Buffalo - W 6-5
  at Baltimore - L 6-6
  
  Cincinnati - W 7-6
  N.Y. Jets - W 8-6
  Carolina - W 9-6
  at Cleveland - W 10-6
  
  Steelers win their last four to sneak in as a wild card at 10-6

  Browns 7-9
  
  Steelers 10-6
• hoops23

  

  Steelers will not beat New Orleans or the Jets, imo. Browns 8-8, Steelers 9-7.

  I see the Browns at 7-9 and that is if our defense can keep us in games.
  
  Pittsburgh is probably more of a 10-6 team if they can handle not having Big Ben for the first couple games- I hope it stays at 6 games for him! If not 8-8.
• hoops23

  

  I think the Browns defense is going to surprise a lot of people this year.
• Automatik

  

  I don't see Cleveland winning more than 6, and not a chance in hell Pittsburgh loses 10+......so there is your answer.
• Hb31187

  

  Steelers beat Atlanta to open the season WITHOUT Big Ben....not likely
• Nate

  Browns won't finish with more wins than the Steelers
  Steelers will not finish with more than 9 wins. You can take that to the bank.

  Even with Ben out I think it's a toss up.
  
  Atlanta is a good team but the Steelers are at home for opening day, defense will be fresh. Should be a good ballgame.
• georgemc80

  I wonder if that is love for Atlanta or hate for Pittsburgh....Pittsburgh will beat the Falcons relatively easily.
• GoChiefs

  

  They can beat Atlanta..sure. Relatively easy? I doubt it.

  You're kind of being a homer. Atlanta isn't bad, and Shitsburgh doesn't have Big Ben. The Stillers might win but it isn't going to be "easy".

  Best post on this thread. Maybe the first two games aren't as important for most franchises, but it always seems like it is for the Browns. They are a team that needs to build confidence early. They SHOULD win their first two games, but lets not forget, they are the Cleveland Browns. I don't see it happening, and I don't see them winning more games than the Steelers.

  Everyone remember the first play in 2006 against the Saints? Necktie with the hold bringing back the 65yd TD on the first play to Leon Edwards. That set the tone for the rest of the season, I think we have to get off to a good start, just seems to be that way for the Browns for whatever reason.
• georgemc80

  Homer???? I am not a homer....I just know that the Falcons put all their defensive eggs in the Duntae Robinson basket....and I know from experience...he is not that good. I haven't seen the line....and its early...but I would think Steelers -6 would be a bet.

  Can? Yes. Will? Maybe.

  For what it's worth, the Steelers have won seven straight openers.
