I simply can't imagine any scenario where I'd bet on a Charlie Frye/Jamal Lewis led offense against the Steelers. Arians will test Cleveland deep and open the field for FWP. I just see this being either a blowout or a complete trap game that just sucked me in. I realize this is a rivalry game of sorts and I'm going with a road dog, but the talent gap is too large for me to ignore.
I never want to say "easy money", but this one looks downright incredible. This revamped offense under Arians is going to give Cleveland fits. Cleveland ranked 28th against the run in allowing 4.7 yards per carry to opposing backs. Pitt can establish the run to open the field for the pass, or vice versa. And Jamal Lewis looked like he was running with cinder blocks strapped to his legs last season. And geez, Charlie Frye??? I mean, Wimbley and Davis are the only two guys I worry about on the Cleveland D. They're both playmakers, but the defense, in a nutshell, reeks. This could be a bloodbath (or a total trap).
