The Steelers are going to be the #1 seed

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)

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 😂

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.
