We are talking wild card here. I am not ready to take a wildcard we still have a shot at the north. There is still alot of football to be played.

Believe it or not, I might go as far to say the Steelers will win the division! I see us losing no more than one more game this season, 2 at the maximum. I expect us to split with Baltimore judging by how the way both teams play the brand of football. It's ALWAYS tough with those guys, regardless of record.

Green Bay, and Miami are joker games. You just DON'T know what team you're going to get, thus making them dangerous. Hopefully by the 16th game, we are at least guaranteed a playoff spot, first and foremost. I don't want it coming down to Miami, but we could go undefeated the rest of the way.

I have a feeling Cinci has at least 3 games left in them to lose, but I expect them to lose two the rest of the way, but the feeling is still there that they could indeed slip up.

They have two back to back tough challenges on the road, in consecutive weeks. That's @ Minny, and @ SD, both to where I think they lose. Also, the Jets could knock them off a peg and don't give up on an Oakland or a Cleveland believe it or not.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out, but if the Steelers either win out, or lose only 1, which is possible, I can see us win this thing.

Exactly. NOTHING has been decided yet.

The most we lost from the Bengals game is a tiebreaker. We have a chance at the division, but we're going to have to beat the Bengals in overall record.

The Bengals are 5-0 against the division, but they still aren't running away with the North. Just like us last year. We went 6-0 against the North, but the Ravens were still all over our asses all season. Nothing is guaranteed in the AFC North.

Also, if I'm not mistaken... we don't have to worry about the AFC-W teams taking our WC spot, unless we somehow finish with a worse record ...

Don't get me wrong, I still see us having a chance to take the division... but since we beat both Denver AND San Diego... whoever doesn't win the division probably won't get the WC either if we end up a wild card.

Right now though, I'm just thinking win out and we don't have to worry about all that! :-)

I wouldn't go that far. With the Bungles winning both games against us, they have taken a decisive advantage in the AFCN. We are essentially two games back with 7 games to go. The Bungles have games against Minnesota and San Diego, both of which are potential losses. The rest, Browns, Raiders, Lions and Chiefs, are going to be a stretch for them to lose (though anything surely is possible).

On the other hand, we will have to win out. Not that tough to do, but we do have a game against Green Bay and two games against the Ravens (who always play us tough).

Can we still win the AFCN? Absolutely. But we need a lot of help now. I'd say chances are 3 in 10 that we make it as AFCN Champs. 4 in 5 that we make it in the top WC spot.

I'm hoping if we get a wild card I will get to see the Steelers play here in sunny SD!!!

I think the Jets have a shot at beating them too. They have to go to NY. I see the Bungals finishing 11-5 and us 12-4 or 13-3.

At worse we take a wild card spot, but anything can happen over the final 7 games. I am not ruling out taking the AFC North division until we are mathematically out from it happening. I would love nothing more than to face the Bungles again in the playoffs.
