Having said all that...we have won 3 in a row (Jax, Indy, Minny) vs teams that are all .500 or better and the Steelers have lost 3 in a row. I think we are slight favorites to win.

Further, I like our PO chances. I think if we win 2 of 3, we are in. We own the TB in head to head ties with Jacksonville, Buffalo, and Indy. A win tomorrow means Pitt cannot catch us unless we lose out. That would leave Denver (1 game behind) and Houston (Stroud likely out this week vs Cleveland) as the real danger teams for us if we finish 10-7.

I think Baltimore, Miami, and KC are likely in. Plus the South winner and Cleveland. The Browns seem likely to have nothing to play for in Week 18, clinched WC but no shot at division.

As long as we get to 10 and one of Houston & Denver don't, I think we are in.

I mean he picked up the guy here. Could be more aggressive especially on the 2nd one. But all I've heard is about Mixon as he has improved which makes the PFF grade interesting. I'm not saying I don't believe you just seems odd and I do not always trust they're grading system. But he was certainly better than Chase Brown and probably why Brown dissappears for periods of time in games.

They play the Chargers this week then New Engalnd both see like easy wins on paper but we will need an upset. They play Miami the last week and that may mean something but time will tell. I know we own the head to head with Buffalo but that only matters if we are the only two with a tied record. Not sure how the rest of the tie breakers unfold.

I’m not talking about ESPN now, I’m talking about how you think you have enough data to outsmart a computer. You’re doing predictions too, everyone does it. If it used the same info you’re using it will come to the same conclusion, but the better predictor has more information than us and seed patterns you’d never notice. Like maybe McPherson is worse on turf, when it’s cold, when there’s no wind, lol.

The more data it has the better the prediction, its worst is as bad as our random predictions, it’s not going to be right 100% of the time just like any human. Someone who is 0/100 from 50 yards out, they’re gonna miss! Lol

Its a funny stat you chose to say the Steelers defense is bad considering that same stat the bengals D may be worst in the league (yards given up per game), in which case we agree.
