With the final week of the regular season here, keep these three bold predictions in mind as the Steelers take on the Browns.

The Steelers season is on the line this week, and they face a Browns team that would love nothing more than to eliminate them. As well, he gets his name thrown around as a late addition to the offensive rookie of the year award. [George Pickens](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4426354/george-pickens) turned it on and has become the Steelers top receiver on the roster. With that said, here are three bold predictions for the final regular season game of the season. [Kenny Pickett](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4240703/kenny-pickett) has had a turbulent rookie season, to say the least. I follow a common trend for my final bold predictions article of the regular season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers recent success has the fan base believing...but not to the point of getting into the playoffs.

[Baltimore Ravens](https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/) in Week 14 causing the confidence to fall of a proverbial cliff. Can they beat the Browns in Week 18 to not just finish strong, but to finish on a 4-game winning streak? The Steelers followed up the prime time win with their first back-to-back victories of the season, beating the [Atlanta Falcons](https://www.thefalcoholic.com/) on the road in Week 13. [Miami Dolphins](https://www.thephinsider.com/) in prime time in Week 7. You have to go back to early in the undefeated preseason when there was a higher confidence percentage (91%). After rebounding with a Week 15 win over the [Carolina Panthers](https://www.catscratchreader.com/) would have the fan base feeling good again, right? In Week 11 a 37-30 loss to the Bengals has the roller coaster ride of fan confidence moving once again. However, the roller coaster ride which is Steelers fan confidence continued after the team upset the [Tampa Bay Buccaneers](https://www.bucsnation.com/) in Week 6 at Acrisure Stadium. Everyone assumed it would come via a win over the Jets in Week 4, but that didn’t happen. When Kenny Pickett entered the game as the starting quarterback it caused a rise in fan confidence throughout the fan base. [New England Patriots](https://www.patspulpit.com/), one where the offense essentially failed to show up, caused the Steelers fan base to lose faith, and in a hurry. Then you throw in the fact the team went 3-0 in the preseason, and you’d believe confidence was brimming with the fan base.

Warren has worked his way into a more prominent role, posting at least 11 carries in two of the last three games. In what should be a defensive struggle, the under here is the way to go. The under has hit in four of their last five games. The Browns have also used defense to fuel their recent run of success, allowing fewer than 20 points in five of their last six games. They have won four of their last six games to make their record a more respectable 7-9. However, their lone loss came by just two points to the Ravens in a game in which quarterback Sports betting is now live in Ohio as of New Year's Day. Let's dive into the betting market for this game and highlight some wagers that could prove to be profitable.

As we've done in the past, the keys to the Pittsburgh Steelers winning (or losing) today's game. Three things that need to happen for them to end up on.

Still, the Browns are great at going empty out of heavy personnel, keeping Pittsburgh in their base defense and forcing them to defend all levels of the field. Get a hat on a hat at the second level is key. Pittsburgh hasn’t contained the edges well enough to make Watson play within the pocket. Three things that need to happen for them to end up on the right side of the score and vice versa in this afternoon’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Breathing room should be easier to find, the Browns’ run defense hasn’t been good all year and they’re losing players left and right, but the point is the Steelers need to run, run, and then run again. The interior offensive line needs to win the point of attack and they need to climb to the second level and cover up their linebackers.

Deshaun Watson and the Browns will take the field against playoff-hopeful Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

On top of a win, Pittsburgh will also need a Patriots tie or loss and a Dolphins tie or loss. It would need a Patriots and Dolphins loss. The Steelers, on the other hand, have managed to once again put their name in playoff contention. Despite starting the season 2-6, they have battled back and are now 8-8 entering the last week of play. The Browns are going to finish last in the AFC North this season. The Cleveland Browns have already been eliminated from playoff contention.

"I thought I should have had a little bit longer leash. I felt like it was a good opportunity to possibly get back on the field, but nothing's guaranteed." For Trubisky, his second chance in the NFL went worse than his first one. And while he was, that belief only lasted three games before rookie Kenny Pickett took over for the remainder of the year.

Scoring updates and analysis for the Cleveland Browns' game at the PIttsburgh Steelers in Week 18 of the NFL regular season.

Before Sunday's game kicked off, players gathered on the field to honor Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin as well as first responders and medical caregivers. The Steelers began the drive with five straight run plays. Running back Kareem Hunt was being evaluated for a head injury by the Browns announced shortly before halftime. The team labeled Hunt's status as questionable to return. When Steelers Harris tried to dive over the goal line on Pittsburgh's first drive of the game, he made it over. He entered the game listed as Then the Steelers capitalized with a six-play scoring drive. Garrett tied his single-season career best with 16 sacks, the same total he compiled in 2021 to set a franchise record. Then with 53 seconds remaining in the game, Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. Pittsburgh led by the same score at halftime. The Steelers recorded their second interception off Watson when safety Damontae Kazee bumped into rookie wide receiver David Bell and snatched the pass out of the air. Watt's touchdown was preceded by a key third-and-goal from the 2.

The Pittsburgh Steelers did their part in the final-season push for a playoff spot, but the Dolphins' simultaneous win eliminated them.

Five runs gained all 25 of the necessary yards and Harris punched in a four-yard scoring run to make it 20-7 with 3:17 left in the third quarter. But on four plays from inside the 20-yard line, the Steelers gained just nine yards and had to opt for another field goal from Boswell. With 53 seconds left, the Steelers were in the middle of icing their own win but dejected fans left the stadium as they learned the Dolphins had won. He was under constant pressure and took two sacks before his team had to punt with 1:04 to go in the third quarter. They clinched a winning season, but fell short of the playoffs. The Browns picked up big gains on first and second downs but the Steelers held firm on third downs. But on third and goal from the one yard line, Harris coughed up his third fumble of season and the Browns recovered. A defensive holding call on Robert Spillane on third and 10 from midfield sparked the Cleveland offense, who marched the remaining 50 yards easily and scored on 10-yard pass from Deshaun Watson to David Njoku. He missed a deep ball to Johnson along the sideline but didn't miss a wide-open George Pickens, who was running up the scene and caught a game-tying 31-yard touchdown pass. He sailed some passes on key downs and the Browns were able to contain Harris in the run game. The Steelers won the toss but deferred their option until the second half. They beat the Cleveland Browns, 28-14 at Acrisure Stadium to clinch a winning record and improve their standing in the AFC playoff race.

The Pittsburgh Steelers fell on the wrong end of a controversial call in the Jets-Dolphins game.

[bookmark All Steelers](https://www.si.com/nfl/steelers/) for the latest news, exclusive interviews, film breakdowns and so much more! During that drive, on a second and nine, Jets defensive lineman Quincy Willaims was flagged for a horse collar tackle on Jaylen Waddle, giving the Dolphins a fresh set of downs inside New York territory. They needed a win and losses from the Dolphins and Patriots to earn a playoff berth.

Though the Steelers took care of business and beat the Cleveland Browns Sunday, they didn't get all the help needed to advance into the postseason. The Buffalo ...

The team will head into 2023 with QB Kenny Pickett as their unquestioned starter. Pittsburgh will try to get back into the playoffs next year. Pittsburgh began the year with a Week One win against the Cincinnati Bengals.
