NFL Thursday Night Football - Is it too soon to tag this as a must-win for the Steelers? I suggest absolutely not. A loss here would be devastating for the defending champs.
Football betting provides you hottest bets for tonight; NFL Thursday Night Football and the Steelers don’t want to be reminded about how many times they’ve beaten Cleveland the past five years.
For all they are concerned about Thursday night football match-up which has the importance of a playoff game. Pittsburgh is one of four AFC teams with a 6-6 record on the season and of those four they are by far in the worst slump.
The latest of those four straight losses – a 27-24 home defeat in which they surrendered 21 fourth quarter points to the Oakland Raiders – may have stung the most. Everyone is sharing the blame, but it’s been who’s not in the lineup more than who is, that seems like the biggest problem.
Talking about NFL Thursday Night Football, Without Troy Polamalu the Steelers are 2-5 this season and now it looks like he may not return at all this year. For a pass rush that’s struggled, taking away their playmaker has left the Steelers secondary vulnerable and no one has stepped up in Polamalu’s absence.
Cleveland QB Brady Quinn will make his first career start against Pittsburgh and with nothing to lose; we can expect to see the Browns attack with the deep ball to test a defense on a short week of preparation.
The Steelers rush defense has allowed 92.5 yards per game during this four-game slump, nearly 40-percent more than the team’s first half numbers, but Cleveland’s run-by-committee ground game has yet to appoint a proven leader.
Online sportsbooks have been under pressure from bettors hitting the Total on this NFL Thursday Night Football game. The number opened at 36 but with money pouring in on the “Under”, it has moved down to 33.5 at many sportsbooks.
The reason is a combo of a bad weather forecast and the fact neither offense is clicking. Pittsburgh will likely be missing their top receiver in Hines Ward, Big Ben is fresh off that concussion and the Brown offense is, well…the Brown offense.
Sports Betting is reporting almost 70% of the money wagered on the Total has been placed on the “Under”. Looking at the betting action on the side, it has been Pittsburgh money all the way. Laying 10-points, clearly bettors are hoping that QB Ben Roethlisberger will still find success against a Browns secondary that was shredded for 394 passing yards last week by San Diego.
Big Ben admitted this week that although the light is small at the end of what looks like a very long tunnel, his team is still confident. On this NFL Thursday Night Football, the Browns will need to perform above their normal level if they hope to win this game straight-up and the NFL’s 29th ranked run defense will be under pressure all day.
Rashard Mendenhall rushed for 103 yards against Oakland but it was his first time hitting triple-digits since the team’s Week 9 win at Denver. Pittsburgh’s back is up against the wall and while I see a win, I’m not comfortable laying double digits with this current Steeler team.
I do like the “Over” though, going against the sports betting public. I expect the Steelers to score 20-plus, but I also think this Cleveland offense opens the playbook up more this week and starts to stretch the field.
Good luck and enjoy the Thursday Night Football – Thursday Night Football Betting.

today's meet went sooo much better than yesterday. i did have to swim a 100 fly but i did not mind. i came is 2nd. but through out the race i stayed ahead till the 3rd lap. i was out touched by the other team's swimmer by milli-seconds. i also had to swim in the 4x100 free relay. when i did that i felt like i hardly even tried to keep in front of the lane next to me. but i did well i guess. next swim meet is on Monday. i hope coach signs me up for the 200 I.M. or the 100 butterfly, not both. like today. a parent had to step in and tell the coach that i am being wore down if i swim in those events that are back to back.

today was a tri meet. the team took a horrible blow. the whole team got a total of 52 points. the coach didn't do a really good job, due to the fact she signed me up for 4 events that were really close together. i swam a 200 I.M. and then 10 minutes later or even less than that i swam a 100 butterfly. my time for that was 1:32.00 even though yesterday i went a 1:18.00. today i tried to switch from the 100 fly to the 500, and my coach would not let me.
