15. Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns

First off, if last year is any sign of what to expect from the rivalry between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns moving forward, football fans are going to be in for quite a treat in 2019.

When taking into consideration that Pittsburgh has six Super Bowl titles to its name, while Cleveland is still in search of its first, no one should be surprised to see the Steelers dominating the Browns in the overall series at 75-58-1.

As fans remember, that tie actually took place in Week 1 of last season. The Browns nearly pulled off what would have been an incredible upset to kick off the new year, but at least expectations are high for 2019.

Thanks to Cleveland finally finding a quarterback in Baker Mayfield, while earning the rights to being one of the big winners this offseason thanks to the Odell Beckham Jr. trade, this is going to be a whole new Browns team in 2019, meaning the Steelers better be ready.

While the Browns took a major step in the right direction, the Steelers lost a key weapon on offense in Antonio Brown after the wideout requested a trade this offseason before landing on the Oakland Raiders.

In other words, Cleveland may be behind in the overall perspective. That being said, the Browns could at least gain an edge over Pittsburgh for the 2019 season if they manage to live up to the hype.
