No. 3 – Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns (Jan. 3)
The Steelers host the Broncos this week and then finish with back-to-back road games. Normally, that would sound like a tough way to end the season. But given that they draw the Ravens in Week 16, a team that has completely checked out now that they are onto Jimmy Clausen at quarterback, and the Browns in the season finale, it’s a pretty cushy two-game road trip for Pittsburgh. The only team that could give them a little bit of trouble is Cleveland, as Mike Pettine’s team has proven somewhat plucky at times this season. But there’s also a reason they’re 3-10; they aren’t very good. Here’s hoping Johnny Manziel has one of those games when the Broncos need him to have one the most.
What This Would Help: Just like with the Jets, the Broncos need the Steelers to fall to six losses; that would all but ensure the Broncos a postseason trip, even if disaster strikes.
