The Steelers are going to be the #1 seed

[Donuts and Doritos]

KC will be the #1 seed again

[without a drought]

The OP forgot to mention Steelers (Pickett)

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. 

If I am getting 7 or more against the Ravens I am taking the Steelers all day. They may lose but only by 3-4 points IMO

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

This possibility just goes to show how incredibly influential schedule and luck are.

 

For the Bills, this season has been a remarkable combination of injuries, bad luck, a brutal schedule, and legendary mistakes.

@YoloinOhio go away. Please. We don't need you here anymore. You had a great chance to go cheer for a contender (like the Steelers?!!).

 

Everyone being so kind to welcome you back. I ain't gonna do it. You'd have been smart to find a new team.

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)

4?  No way 

At least 4.

 

They have a good defense. Their offense is terrible. The way they have been winning is not sustainable and they will not likely keep it up.

 

Think of them as the Giants from last year. Yes, you are what your record says but watching that team they don't have the talent, especially on offense to keep going without a TON of luck.

[frostbitmic]

The Chefs are about to go on a roll and take the #1 seed.

 

I think the Ravens will win the North and take the #2 seed

 

The Sunshine state gets the #3 & #4 seeds ... Pittsburgh #5 ... Houston #6 ... Los Angeles #7

[strive_for_five_guy]

I’m pulling for Ravens or Steelers to land the 1 seed.  Don’t want to see the Chiefs or Jags get the easy path.  And if somehow we squeak into the playoffs, could see us going into either of those stadiums and winning, if needed.

[Billl]

This same thing happened in 2020.  Pittsburgh didn’t pass the eye test, yet they were 11-0 to start the season.  They lost 4 of 5 down the stretch before losing in the first round of the playoffs.  Nothing suggests that this season will be any different.

Brutal schedule???? They’ve lost to Zack Wilson, the corpse of Russ Wilson (at home) and Mac Jones, and they tried their damndest to lose to Tyrod Taylor.  The Bills have had an EASY schedule this year, up to this point. They’ve played three good teams.

I didn't say anything about up to this point. The schedule in totality is one of the hardest in the NFL.

It’s not.  We play another backup this week and then three tough games. That’s it.  The schedule has nothing to do with us being 5-5. If we actually had a tough schedule we’d be 3-7.

Yep.  If we weren’t playing like crap, we’d be 7-3 or 8-2 right now, and probably

not even having these conversations.  We’d be talking about our chance at the 1 seed.

You can see how all the evidence you're presenting actually suggests Pittsburgh will regress to the mean, right? That they've been incredibly fortunate so far in 2023, and that's unlikely to continue? (I guess Minnesota last season was this way for the entire REGULAR SEASON, winning close games despite being outplayed. But it's not the likely outcome.)

what if this is the mean? the difference is tomlin:
 

“Mike Tomlin finds a way in these muck-and-grind affairs. Somehow, the Steelers have won a franchise-record eight consecutive one-score games. They have won 95 one-score games since Tomlin became coach in 2007, more than any team in the NFL, according to a graphic on the CBS telecast.”

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.”

Steelers D has scored 2 TDs....

Pittsburgh ain't goin' nowhere.....forget seeding.
