Please tell me you don't bet on sports. I could understand you thinking the Pats and maybe the Jets/Colts are better than Pittsburgh, but KC and Tennessee is a complete joke.

I had a feeling the Steelers were going to win. I think the Pats are somewhat overrated this year, and will probably lose one or two more games before the playoffs begin.

that's impressive. overrated and still finish 14-2 or 13-3? I'd be happy with that.

philly has had a fairly easy schedule so far this year. i want to see them play a pretty solid team like pitts on the road before i think they are anything special

Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

Teams better than Pittsburgh....

New England- Yes
NYJ- Push right now
Indy- Still have to show they can stop a team defensively to become the "team to beat". If ipicking between Pittsburgh and indy i would pick indy, but put money on the over.
Denver- The last two weeks have shown some serious holes in Denver's game, going with Pittsburgh on this one.
Baltimore- There will be another matchup between the teams this year. If more teams take Cleveland's approach to stopping them they will struggle to make the playoffs.
Kansa City- A lot of Indy's probems... not as diverse of an offensive attack. Maybe a push.
Tennesee- team with probelms on both sides of the ball right now, Pittsburgh is currently the better team.

who said they are anything special? the nfc is loaded with mediocre/sucky teams that philly is easily the best. the closest to them is the vikings, and that's almost laughable.

Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

hmm, I realize now that overrated is the wrong word. NE seems to have an invincible aura around them, which they shouldn't. There team is good, but they have weaknesses. I think I can honestly say they were better last year than this year. But, they are still the team to beat in the AFC.

It's rare that a 3-4 team like the Chiefs is the team to beat. They'll get their own shot at the Patriots on Monday Night Football in three weeks.

The Patriiots defense has some problems. But, they'll be tough team to be come playoff time.

Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

Yeah, you're right. Good news for the 'Hawks at least... They should be able to sneak into the playoffs if they're able to be consistent, for once...

Yeah, and Pats are definitely the team to beat still. Even if they are overrated... NYJ is a very tough team right now.

Pitt should be tough come playoff time. They still have another toughie with the Eagles though. If they win this one, I don't think anyone wants to face 'em.

Other than that, the league's a mess, and you just got to make plays to win.

Tennessee is missing McCariens big time on O. And McNair for that matter. banged up and hasn't looked sharp all year. i guess this is what happens when you play with 800 injuries every year. Also, Peter Sirmon was a huge reason their run D was so good last year. He is out with a knee injury and they are feeling the effectsof that big time. Also, Kearse left so the warm up bike on the sideline isn't used as much.
