00:00Week number 12 will kick with another AFC North divisional duel in Cleveland.

00:10The Browns will play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh riding a

00:13five-game win streak. They have won all four games that Russell Wilson has

00:17started as a Steeler and of course they are 8-2. They game and a

00:22half lead for the top spot in the AFC North and now Joe the narrative on this

00:27Pittsburgh club is starting to change. Not just oh okay they win football games

00:32that's Mike Tomlin oh okay maybe they'll win so many football games they can

00:37outlast the Ravens in the AFC North but oh okay are the Pittsburgh Steelers a

00:43true conference contender that we will debate in just a matter of moments. You

00:48saw a four and a half point spread in favor of the Steelers there on the

00:52graphic it has already worked down by a point just over a field goal. Short week

00:57Thursday night game for the Steelers Joe after a huge and exciting finish against

01:04the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The line would suggest against a 2-8

01:09Cleveland team this is a trappy spot for the Steelers or at least a come back

01:15down to earth spot for Pittsburgh. Yeah I mean if this was any other year Ben we

01:23have seen this nightmare situation with the Steelers before. They're the better

01:28team they're clearly the better team they go on the road and they play a team

01:32that is going the wrong direction and what happens the Steelers play down to

01:37the level of their competition and they can't get it done. Now what's ironic

01:42about this is the look ahead line for this was the Browns as a favorite at

01:46home but I look at what has happened to this line here Ben now we're looking at

01:51four and a half and it's gonna keep getting bet so that is not a good

01:55situation to be looking at and I'll say this about the Browns it wasn't Jameis

01:59Winston had a great game statistically there you look at the numbers and you're

02:03saying the guy was completing passes he was throwing for over eight and a half

02:07yards of completion there was no reason why they should not have won that game

02:13until of course you look on the one thing that the Browns have done well all

02:17year long was get a pass rush and the defense pretty good defense gets all

02:22sorts of turnovers but gives up five touchdowns of 30 yards or more Ben five

02:27of 30 yards or more that's why they lost this is their Super Bowl against the

02:34Steelers here I'm wondering how high it'll get before the market starts to

02:38buy it back but at four and a half right now in a short week yikes this is

02:44historically not been a great spot to back the Pittsburgh Steelers
