Steelers are team to beat in AFC

Well that was hideous. My Patsies got shown up. They lost me $40 to 3 different Steelers fans. Oh well, they were bound to lose eventually, but on the day I put up money? Pshaw.

Based on today, maybe, but there's a long ways to go. I felt all along that the Patriots streak would end with a game like this where everything went wrong and they ended up getting crushed. Let's see how they bounce back next week before jumping off the Zakim.

I ain't jumping off of anything. I still think they're the second best team in the AFC. But everything about the Steelers has impressed me this year. Today's game just confirmed my belief. It didn't help that the Pats had injuries, but this was truly a beatdown.

No team is as good as they look and conversely as bad as they look in a game like this. In Bill we Trust.

The Pats cost me money 2 weeks in a row now, so maybe I shouldnt bet on them anymore lol.

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.

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.
