Brownie Elves travel to Pittsburgh

Although, Christmas fever is in the air, this week it is the Cleveland Brownie Elves (4-8) that are coming to Pittsburgh (9-3) for Thursday Night Football.

Seriously, this is Cleveland's mascot.  No wonder they have "issues".

Cleveland's hapless mascot speaks volumes to how badly this team should be beaten by the Steelers.  Even though Pittsburgh manhandled Ohio's other crappy football team (the Cincinnati Bungles) on Sunday 35-7, I won't dare predict two blow outs in a row.  The AFC North Division leading Baltimore Haters (9-3) slipped past the Brownie Elves 24-10 on Sunday, and the Steelers can't afford to look past anybody right now--even a lowly Brownie Elf.  Pittsburgh fans will do well to remember that it was the freaking Brownie Elves that knocked off the Steelers two years ago on a cold December Thursday night contest in Cleveland, 13-6.  As such, the Steeler Face predicts a 17-3 triumph for the Steelers on this Thursday night in December.  Expect cold temps, low scoring, and big defense.  The Steeler Face is 7-4 (with one perfect pick) forecasting Steeler games on the year.
