I was just looking at the Raven’s schedule and it looks rough. Jags, 49ers, Dolphins, back to back. Steelers have a relatively easy schedule with a slightly better divisional record.

Also of note—Browns have a seemingly easy schedule as well.

Do you think the Steelers have a real shot at winning the north? Or are you just hoping to get a wildcard spot?

    In that scenario, both teams would be 12-4 entering week 18, so the Steelers would need to win or tie vs the Ravens to take the division. If the Steelers enter with one game ahead of the Ravens and then lose in week 18, the season series would be split, and both teams would be 4-2 in the division, assuming the Steelers sweep the Bungles. The next tiebreaker would be common games, which in this case means the teams’ records vs the Browns, Bengals, AFC South, and NFC West.

      In actuality, the steelers only need to win 4. If they go into week 18 a game behind the ravens, and beat them. First tie breaker is head to head and we’d have beat them twice. That would also be our 4th division win(at least depending on bungles game 2) and the raven’s would be at 3 division wins. So if we go in a game ahead, and have beat the bungles, we could lose and still.get division. If we go in even or a game behind, we win for the division.
