youve seen the Seahawks lose and only beat weak teams while the Steelers have won with back ups and you think Seattle will be tough?
Indy is dead.

If the Bengals go 5-3 in their last 8 games, then it's mathematically impossible for the Steelers to catch them, even if they run the table.  It would take a substantial collapse by the Bengals combined with an incredible run by the Steelers for them to win the AFCN crown.

As far as the wild card goes, they will likely need a minimum of 10 wins.  That's a 5-2 run for a team that's currently 5-4.  It's not out of the realm of possibility, but they will be without their 2 best OL and Bell with a hobbled QB.  Yes, they have won some games with their backup QB, but they have also lost to crap teams like the Chiefs and Ravens.  They have been a terrible west coast team and Seattle is probably the toughest place to play in the league.  Indy is mediocre, but should have proven last week that they can be dangerous if overlooked.  They can make it, but they have a tough mountain to climb to get there.
