You know the Cardinals,that team that may be better than the Bengals. The Bengals barely beat the Steelers this first time. A split is very likely and Ben will be back for that. Pitt will beat the Browns with a back up tomorrow.
 They beat the Raiders who were threatening for a wild card. I'm picking Vikings to win tomorrow. You still have to account for all the other teams that can lose and have lost To keep Pitt well in line for a spot.

everyone in the AFC aside from Broncos,Bengals, Patriots is doing so bad they are practically holding the door open for Pittsburgh.

The Chargers are garbage, and everyone knows it.  I don't think many people put the Cardinals ahead of the Bengals.  The Bengals are 3-0 against teams that are .500 or better, while the Cardinals are 0-2.  Literally, the Cards' 6 wins are over the Saints, Bears, 9'ers, Lions, Ravens, and Browns, and their 2 losses are to the Rams and the Steelers with their third string QB.  It doesn't get any easier than they've had it, and they still lost to both of the middle of the pack teams they played.  The Raiders have been an awful east coast team for years.

A split with the Bengals could happen, but given the two teams' records, current health, and the fact that the Bengals won in Pittsburgh with the Steelers in full on desperation mode to keep their AFCN title hopes alive, it would be an upset, no question.  It certainly isn't something you can just pencil in as a W for the Steelers.

Looking at their remaining schedule, the Steelers should get to 9-7, which would leave them on the outside looking in due to tiebreakers most likely.  Yes, they could surprise in one of the games I would predict a loss in[@Seattle, Denver, @Cinci], but they've been suspect in covering the games they should have covered, so that could easily be offset by a loss to the Colts, Browns, or Ravens....well, maybe not the Browns.  They definitely need to a higher level than they have the first 9 weeks to make it.
