The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are neck-and-neck in the AFC North, both sitting in a wild card spot with a 6-3 record.

Steelers vs. Browns key players to watch

Pittsburgh Steelers

Jaylen Warren: The Steelers announced Jaylen Warren as their new starting running back and for good reason, having averaged 5.1 yards per carry this season, 1.1 more yards per carry than Najee Harris. If the Steelers want to find success against the Browns defense, Warren is going to play a big role in that.

Cleveland Browns

Amari Cooper: The Browns' starting receiver, Amari Cooper, played a big role in the Browns' Week 10 33-31 win against the Baltimore Ravens and he clearly has a connection with quarterback Deshaun Watson. As long as those two are clicking, they can be a dangerous unit.

Steelers vs. Browns prediction and pick

The Steelers have been outgained in every game this season and are 28th in the NFL in Net Yards per Play, but are somehow 6-3. The Mike Tomlin voodoo is real and I'm done betting against it.

This time, I'll take the Steelers with the points as I think the Browns are a fraudulent team at 6-3. There's no doubt the Browns' defense is elite, but their offense is one of the worst in the NFL ranking 26th in EPA per play, 28th in success rate, and 30th in yards per play.

Everyone is praising Deshaun Watson for having a good start against the Ravens. Is completing 58.8% of passes for 6.3 yards per throw, one touchdown, and one interception a great performance? Absolutely not.

I'll take the points with Pittsburgh, a team whose offense should be much improved with Jaylen Warren taking over as the primary running back.
