    Would say Pittsburgh are the only team equipped to deal with a shootout

    def not the raiders or the chiefs, i kinda think the raiders and cowboys are frauds, they started out playing so well great record but each team has a major flaws, i don't think raiders or cowboys will be a factor in the playoffs, love the chiefs defense they get so many turnovers but the offense with check down alex smith no way they are going into new england and winning

    I like their chances.

    But they wouldn`t be more than a TD fav against Pitt or even KC.

    The muffed punt was not an aberration. The kicking game has been shaky.

    One more injury to a key offensive guy....hmmm.

    That being said, taking a look at the AFC standings, realistically, they should book their tickets.

    Yeah you might be right.....But the Ravens have always been a thorn in the Pats side in the Playoffs
    Pats better hope they don't see them again

    Don't count this resurgent Dolphins squad out.

    Tannehill is ok, team is playing legit D second half of year. They can run thus win on road. Can score 28+ if needed.

    You could be Steelers +1050 and then guarantee a profit if they reach AFC Championship.

    I like and took the Packers and Chiefs for $25 a pop myself..

    Steelers and Broncos could certainly make some noise as well in the playoffs..

    Steelers can beat them. KC would probably need home field to get it done.

    The Steelers have no chance. The team with the best chance is the Raiders. If their offense gets rolling, no one beats them. Pitt and K.C. do not have that kin of fire power.

    If pats play Ravens again, they beat them by 3tds. The only reason Ravens got back in game were turnovers by special teams. What game were you watching?

    How could Steelers have no chance? They have second best offense in NFL and defense has been much better in recent weeks. They also do not mind playing on the road.

    People overlook the fact that the Patriots have a very good defense too, so in this case, if the opponent also has a good defense, it needs an OFFENSE that can keep pace and score on New England Steelers have the run/pass balance to do it.

    Broncos were HOME for AFC Championship. Doubt they would have won at Foxboro.

    They still have to play each other 1 more time on christmas. If ravens win, then they are in the driver's seat for the division.

    Pats could possibly LOSE next 2 out of 3 Games......They are hard to beat in Foxboro
    Last team to beat them there in the Playoffs was the Ravens

    In fact I'm looking at this more and it's far from a slam dunk for the steelers. They have to travel to cincy and play against a desperate bengals team who still have an outside shot at the playoffs. Heated division rival with aj green possibly back while ravens get to host the Eagles who are terrible on the road and basically eliminated from the playoffs.

    Then they face off on christmas and yes Steelers have the advantage since it's at heinz field but ravens have had their number of late. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Baltimore win.

    Steelers get the browns in week 17 while ravens play at cincy but at that point, will cincy have anything to play for? Good chance Browns are 0-15 and may even get a better effort from them than cincy in that spot
