Does the Cleveland game mean anything?

[Steeler Mafia]

Is there anything on the line for the Steelers in this game? They cannot get a better seed or home field, but I don't believe they are a lock at #3.

I see this as a game to rest the starters for the playoffs, because Hey, its Cleveland!

According to Labriola, the Steelers are a lock for #3 per Elias, which keeps the official stats.

They are the #3 seed, regardless.

Even if the Steelers lose and Houston wins, the Steelers win the tiebreaker by virtue of strength of schedule, I believe...

I'm almost 100% certain that the Steelers aren't moving off the 3rd seed regardless of what happens in the final weekend. Some things that are positive for the Steelers, the following teams have to play it out, Patriots, Chiefs and Raiders because the patriots could drop from the top seed and the Raiders take it and the Chiefs could take the #2 seed, so those teams have to strap it on and play the final weekend. The Steelers can use it as a bye week and should.

IM hoping Chiefs have the 5 spot. I'd love to play Miami at home, at the Raiders and then return home to face KC. I could see KC beating Marsha and crew with the defense they have and a break on ST.

Great news...

I can see KC beating NE as well. They are dangerous.

Great news...

agreed.. and hoping several other of the key components are very limited as well.

That is my scenario too. KC @ Pitt for AFCC
