12-4 HMMMMMMMM Good number.
Hope it 13-3 becuase then its 1 for 3+3 = 6th ring
Ok I like to play with numbers, shoot me!!

12-4 for both Pittsburgh and Cincy! If we split with Cincy and Balt and Cincy splits with PGH and Balt then we both only lose 2 games in total to the AFC west and NFC South not counting Cincy and Us playing two more strong AFC teams.

AFC West and NFC South are tuff conferences. We had it pretty easy last year with Green Bay, Minnesota, Detroit (thank god we had Chicago at home). We also played, Jax (lose), Indy (lose) then titans and texans. Much easier schedule in 2005 than 2006, on paper.

Our 2006 opponents won 10 more games than our 2005 opponents won in 2005. This is going to be a very very tuff year. Look at out last 6 games - wow. We lose 1 in Sept, Oct and Nov and 2 in December - yikes.

My heart is screaming 19-0 but my brain is whispering 14-5.

I predict: 11-5 (6-2 at home / 5-3 way) for the Steelers and win the AFC north and Super Bowl - YEAH BABY. 10-6 for Cincy and they lose again in the first round.

As long as I am making predictions, Steelers win first 3-peat, why not.

I can't see the bengals going 12-4. They have a pretty tough schedule as well. They play everyone that we do plus the colts and pats.

I can see the Steelers winning the AFC North at 12-4 IF Ben is behind center. I'm not going to look too much farther ahead at this point.

i was looking at the steelers schedual the other day n i was trying to figure up a good guess of what our record would be n my prediction was 12-4 also .

Reading things like this always make me feel excited and anxious for the upcoming season.

Hmmm. We're taking Garrett Wolfe in the first round? I'm neutral to this.

After the bye week, it goes So. Cal - PGH - Atlanta - No. Cal and back to PGH. That's alot of flying in a month. I'm glad Denver is at home.

J-ville and Carolina on the road could be trip-ups.

If we start 3-0 then we go 13-3.

As I read the NFC West predictions from this guy, I realized he would lose all credibility with SF posters based on the following analysis:

Analysis: The Seahawks are the best team in the NFL. Whether they win the Super Bowl or not depends on how real the two aforementioned curses are. If they are hoaxes, Hasselbeck, Alexander and Mike Holmgren will be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in February 2007.

So he is saying the only thing standing between the Seahawks and a SB ring is the Super Bowl loser and Madden cover jinxes.

So based on that, I figure most of you would likely take his predictions with a bit of skepticism.

hmmmm, the site says major additions and has orien harris on the list, i haven't really read anything on him, but is he gonna be worth a damn?

they need to get of el, he isn't that big of a lose, ppl focus to much on a couple of td passes acting like he did it once a week. he is very overrated on punt returning. and he had avg. stats for a starter. willie reid or holmes will make all of us forget how the hell el is. so i don't think he's worth putting in major substractions lol

damn i can't wait for the season to start
