This weekend the Steelers will solidify their spot for the hunt of the Lamar Hunt Trophy.
The Steelers this Sunday have a chance to make the playoffs… even before the Ravens can. And well, I fully believe they can, and they will.


The Steelers face off against the Browns this Thursday at Heinz Field. The 4-8 Brownies have been constant struggling all season, and even Peyton ‘Madden cover’ Hillis has been anemic this season. The Steelers should have no troubles beating the Browns and have had their number for quite some time. I don’t foresee a Chiefs blunder like we did two weeks ago. There were some very promising things that came out of the game against the Bengals. We are beginning to see what a playoff Steelers team may look like come January.

So the Steelers will more than likely win this Thursday. But, in order to clinch a playoff spot, they will need help from three teams – the Bengals, Jets and Titans. The Steelers need all three of those teams to lose, and they are in with their win. I think they are going to get that help, and here’s why.

The Bengals face off against the Texans, and even though there’s been a mass of injuries plaguing that team, they have persevered very nicely. The Texans defense should be able to tear up the Bengals offensive line and get at QB Andy Dalton all day. We’ve seen what Dalton is like if he is scrambling around most of the time – he’s certainly a pocket passer. Loss to Bengals.

Just keep winning, that's what I want.

I don't want to get in on help. I don't even care if the Ravens slip up and give us the division anymore. We lost to them twice this year and as punishment, should have to go to Baltimore in the playoffs. Besides, it will make it that much sweeter when we bounce them in front of their own fans this time for a change.

The Titans will lose to the Saints. Bengals and Texans can go either way. But I have a hard time believing the Jets will lose to the Chiefs.

I had a hard time believing that the Chiefs would even hang with us, but.....
