The Steelers are going to be the #1 seed

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I really can’t believe this, but the Steelers will probably end up as the 1-seed with home field advantage, and yet  there are probably at least 20 better teams in the NFL.

 

check out the remainder of their schedule:

 

@ CLE (Dorian Thompson-Robinson)
@ CIN (Jake Browning)
vs AZ (Kyler Murray)
vs NE (Mac Jones/Bailey Zappe?)
@ IND (Gardner Minshew)
vs CIN (Jake Browning)
@ SEA (Geno Smith)
@ BAL (Lamar Jackson)

Not happening

You might be on to something 

[Mynamemike]

Well to be the optimist, it’ll be an easier victory for us to go into Pittsburgh in the playoffs compared to cincy or KC.  

[BuffaloBillyG]

I see 4 losses.

 

Cleveland still has a great defense. Indy in Indy is a threat. At Seattle is no easy game and At Baltimore.

 

And Arizona is improved with Little Ky-Ky back. Anything can happen, of course. I have them at the 7 seed.

They're a 1-point underdog to the Browns. 

 

They'll be a near pick 'em at Bengals.

 

They'll be a near pick 'em at Colts.

 

They'll be a 5-pt underdog at Seahawks. 

 

They'll be 7-pt underdog at Ravens.

 

So basically they'll be a coin flip three times and a sizable underdog twice. They will almost surely drop at least two more games, probably three, and as many as four. That means 12-5, 11-6 or 10-7. All of which are definitely not good enough to secure the #1 seed.

I hear you. But given that collection of QBs, their defense will score for them and they will win all those games, except possibly the Baltimore game. And that is a divisional game, which will be a total coin flip.
 

Every win has been a coin flip for them this year, and they have won them:

 

“ All six wins for the Steelers this season have come by a single score. The Steelers are 6-3, but outscored on the season by 26 points and for the ninth straight game were outgained by their opponent.”

Sounds like you'll be making a lot of money. And by definition, a division game is NOT a coin flip when the spread is -7 or higher.

They could end up with the 2 and they will get absolutely smoked by whatever usually good team that has been slumping puts it together and ends up as the 7.  Could be us or the chargers.  Not sure what to make of Houston yet.

 

teams will be losing games on purpose trying to get pit in the first round 😂

The Bills will be the #1 seed. 

[Bills of Boston]

Bill Simmons had them as his 1 seed heading into the season. It hasn’t happened as he thought it would (thought Pickett would take the leap.. he has not) but it would be truly one of the more out of left field predictions I can remember if it happens 

[Success]

Maybe - but they're a pretty bad team.  It wouldn't surprise me if they ended up w/ a losing record, too.

There's a better chance the Steelers don't make the playoffs

I have seen dozens of ravens-Steelers games over the years. That one will be like every other one. Going to be a coin flip. The spread doesn’t matter.  

 

this Steelers team— which is extremely mediocre— has bucked the odds the entire season, and now has a ridiculously easy schedule down the stretch. 

[julian]

The Steelers might be at a QB disadvantage in each of those remaining games

Hey Yolo - welcome back! My bad if I missed you posting recently.

[JerseyBills]

Their offese is awful

[GoBills808]

No they're not lol

 

They have a -26 point differential 

They have the 27th ranked offense and 28th ranked defense

 

 

[atlbillsfan1975]

This would be best case scenario for the Bills if the Bills end up winning the East and are the fourth seed. It would be like the year the Bengals went to the SB after a lousy Tenn team was the 1 seed.
