Joe D'Amico's NFL AFC North Game of the Year

Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh, 12/30/2012 13:00 EDT, Score: 10 - 24

Point Spread: -11/+105 Pittsburgh

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Win

Sunday's winner is Pittsburgh over Cleveland. This is my AFC North Game of the Year.

Pittsburgh has lost 3 straight and 5 of their L6, forcing the team to miss the Playoffs. But to the City, the fans, the team, and the owners, finishing the season on a high-note is a must. QB, Ben Roethlisberger is 14-1 lifetime vs. Cleveland, including a 7-0 home mark. RB, Mendenhall is just one TD away from joining both Franco Harris and Jerome Bettis as the only RBs in Steelers history to achieve 30 scores. Cleveland will start Thad Lewis at QB. That's ok, guys. I never heard of him either. RB, Trent Richardson is out with an ankle injury and the Browns haven't won in Heinz field since 2003. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.
