    4th Seed?

    So, I've read plenty of talk around this board of the Steelers as a 4th seed (assuming they win out)...am I really alone in thinking that the Colts are going to lose in Dallas this weekend?

    no, you're not alone. Vegas currently has the Cowboys favored by 3 points...

            I also think the Colts lose to the Cowboys. Im not sure theres a huge difference between the 3 and 4 seed anyway. Either way you get a game at home, and either way you are playing a quality opponent.

            Now Id love to have a bye. How about NE or Den losing out? Now that would be huge.

              There probably is a difference between the #3 and 4 seeds, in terms of who we play. I WOULD NOT want to play BAL. I would much prefer MIA, SD, KC.
              I wasn't hired for my disposition.

                We actually have a higher probability of getting the 3 seed over the 4 seed (29.7% to 14.4%), acorrding to fooball outsiders. The 2nd highest probability for us is the actually the 6th seed (23.4%). They easily give us the best odds of winning the division.

                  The Broncos and Pats lose two, the Colts lose either one of the remaining games and the Steelers win two and they're the #2 seed.

                    Lance Dunbar and Joseph Randle are still a better RB duo than Trent Richardson and Boom Herein.
                    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                      But that's not really the point. Dunbar and Randle are < Murray

                        So the Dolts actually lost and now we control our destiny to the 3rd seed...good call Cinnjerm! I would prefer the 3rd i guess cause then we face Denver first before NE

                          Yeah, the Colts hadn't impressed me in recent weeks, the game was in Dallas, and the Boys still had something to play for. It only made sense IMHO.
