Bengals beat Denver, the 7th seed will have 8 losses. Still have to beat a red hot Cincy team to get the 5th and Houston, otherwise we’re likely going to Baltimore with the Chargers finishing with the Raiders.
Steelers clinch 6th seed at worst

Need the 5th seed IMO.
Don't want BUF or BAL.
We've played well against the Bengals recently. We tend to remember PF is on the team. And they defend him like we do Kelce (or Grok in the day) -
There is no easy path the way the Steelers have played the last 3 weeks. Maybe they can fix the defense. Maybe they can get some offensive rhythm going.
I thought their best chance was a home playoff game to start. But I'll be shocked (though pleased) if they get past the first round - even if it's Houston.2014 MNF EXEC CHAMPION!!!Comment

- No 7th seed @ Buffalo WC weekend
- 3rd seed Vs. Chargers: Browns win + Steelers win week 18
- 5th seed @ Texans: Chargers loss OR Steelers win + Ravens win week 18
- 6th seed @ Ravens: Chargers win + Ravens win + Steelers loss week 18

Do we know if Porter will be back this week?
With him I think we beat the Bengals and play at HOU.
Without I think we give up too much passing against Cincy and we head to BAL.Comment

We need Porter to give us a chance but even then offense needs big points.

In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

Am I the only one who thinks Baltimore might be a better matchup? Last game notwithstanding, we know them and play them close every game. Houston isn’t as good this year but completely pants’d our D last year, and we’re not that familiar with them.Comment

Bu I think BAL had a higher chance of running up the score than HOU.
I hope you're right re BAL though. Starting to think it's the most likely outcome.Comment

Many people will also say it's hard to beat the same team twice in less than a month.Comment

That being said, I'll take Houston.Comment

If we're not getting a bye or a home game, then I don't care about the seeding. You have to be able to compete with the best in the playoffs. Scraping by the wildcard round to get plastered in the next is only infinitesimally more enjoyable than getting blasted in the wildcard round.
I'll take the Rats. We're likely to have to go through them anyway. Would be immensely enjoyable to knock them out in the wildcard round. It's not like we're going to win the Super Bowl this year. So, my Super Bowl "equivalent" would be to knock out the Rats. That would be a successful season for me.Comment
