Steelers win the AFC North with a 10-6 record. Everyone else in the AFC North play the same tough NFC East and AFC South opponents that we do and they are far less prepared to do so. The Stains and Bungals lack of defense and the Ratbirds lack of offense and aging defense is going to expose all three of them against those opponents.
I think 9-7 is going to be good enough to win the AFC North and we will better that by one.
