No I am not... the best Overall record gets the automatic within each division.

I predict 9-1.. I'm not sure where that loss will come from, mostly because I think we're playing pretty good ball, but at times we're too sloppy.. but to be fair I'll say 9-1, at worst 8-2. Denver will be a big game.. if we can beat Oakland and get to 3-4, I think the Denver game will either send us on a streak or send us into a tailspin. We gotta have these games to get on a roll.

I agree, Denver I believe will be a make or break type of game for us. Not only from a win/loss standpoint, but from a momentum standpoint. I think our best hopes for making it into the playoffs will be from within our own division. The Steelers control their own fate to a large degree here. Because we have already lost to San Diego and Jacksonville, getting in as a wild card will be very difficult for us. However, we still have 5 divisional games remaining, and I think we are perfectly capable of winning each of those 5 games. If we can do that, we should be able to afford one more loss out of the other 5 remaining games and still win the division with an 11-5 record, and with the advantage in the tie-breakers.

Every game from this point on is a make or break type of game for the steelers.

Absolutely correct - this team needs to run the table through early December to have any viable playoff hopes going into the last 3 games of the regular season (@Carolina, Baltimore, @Cincinnti).

Based on the fact they went 0-4 in preseason and have gone 2-4 in the regular season how likely is a 7 game winning streak?
