While the Steelers defense isn't what it used to be, it won't be terrible. Plus, they have a top-5 QB like him or not. If Roethlisberger is playing, the Steelers always have a chance. Same with the Ravens. They always seem to have a solid defense and Flacco plays great when it counts. The QB position is what separates us and those two teams and it's a huge difference.

I have the AFC North as this:

Steelers  11-5
Ravens   10-6
Bengals   9-7
Browns    7-9

I don;'t buy that the Steelers and Ravens have been out performing us in the regular season the last 4 years.. yes to post season for Ravens, they have been way superior.... .. not though for Steelers over last four years.  The Steelers since their 2010 run to super bowl.. have missed the playoffs 2 of the last 4 years and are 0-2 in the playoffs so the Bengals have outperformed the Steelers over last four seasons in regular season and both teams have stunk in the playoffs in that time.
