It is stunning the Cleveland Browns are favored over the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, with Ben Roethlisberger resting, maybe not so surprising.

What is astonishing is with the line at Browns minus-10 points, this makes the first time since 1968, Cleveland has been a double-digit favorite over a team with a winning record in 52 years.

What game might that have been? Lines are hard to come by despite research efforts. There was a contest on Dec. 1, 1968, when the 8-3 Browns faced the 6-5 Giants and pummeled them, 45-10.
