00:00We get you ready for week number 12 and a Thursday night

00:06football game in division in the AFC North tonight in the land

00:11between the Browns and the Steelers again back to the

00:14total and the number three and a half point spread in favor of

00:17the Steelers who are eight and two and sit atop the AFC North

00:22a cover in all eight wins that total on its way up 37 and a

00:26half. But again, we are expecting wind and rain and

00:31maybe a little bit of a wintry mix gusts up to 40 miles per

00:36hour sustained winds anywhere around 23 to 25 miles per hour.

00:42Every offense around the National Football League DRS

00:45will tell you the thing that impacts game plan and offensive

00:48flow more than anything. It's not rain. It's not snow. It's

00:52wind and to your point about Jameis Winston and a total in

00:56the mid thirties. I was like absolutely not. I'm going to

00:59bet the over in this game when I first saw it, but if they are

01:02unable to pass the ball efficiently or effectively and

01:06they turn to the ground game, I still think I lean under

01:09tonight and again, nobody's going to fault you for that

01:12too. And if this was a Sunday game in bad weather, maybe be a

01:15little bit tougher because you get that extra week of

01:17preparation to get a little bit more relaxed. You're coming off

01:19your games last week, but that's not the case. It's a

01:21Thursday night football game and quite frankly, these teams

01:24aren't used to playing yet in the cold weather in the messy

01:27weather. So it's almost like it's going to be the first time

01:29for each one of these teams to say, you know what? Look at

01:31this. It might be rainy. It might be slippery. How do we

01:33handle it? So that makes it a little bit tougher and also as

01:35I said previously, we're not looking for a showmanship win

01:38out of the Pittsburgh Steelers 13 to nine. They would love to

01:42get out of there, secure that victory and keep moving along

01:44in their season. Now granted the Cleveland Browns do would

01:47love to pull the upset on the Pittsburgh Steelers as a hated

01:49rival. They don't do it that often. So this would be a big

01:52shock, but also understand the, you know, test at hand. The

01:55Steelers are playing for a lot. It's hard for an NFL team like,

01:58hey, let's just play the spoiler and we're not even in

02:01the month of December or Thanksgiving yet. That's

02:03terrible. That's just a bad football team. I would be

02:05surprised if the Steelers lost this game, but at the same time,

02:08I'm not really running to the window to lay the three and a

02:10half, but I do agree with you. Probably more of a lean towards

02:13the under, but again, the worst under quarterback in the

02:16history of football to me. I don't care about statistics,

02:18what he is with his over-under. You say Jameis Winston, where

02:21you say like Baker Mayfield, let's take the under, that

02:24sends shivers down your spine, man. It does.
