Actually it's not half a game lead. It can either be considered a zero-game lead on paper or effectively a one-game lead due to the tiebreaker. But it looks as though what's really being fought over is home-field advantage in the playoffs. I'm guessing that Ravens, Steelers, and Bengals all make the playoffs ...barring a late-season implosion by Cincy, which I don't see. AFCN is by far the toughest division in the conference. 11-5 may only get you third place...

With Cincy playing so well, the AFCN does become a meat grinder. I think this serves all the teams well come play-off time. They are battle hardened and tested. Of course, with all three in, they will bump into each other.

Possibly very TRUE!!!!! Stick with the best in the AFC though. Green Bay seems to be playing at a level much higher for the time being!!

Helps with the trolling...

I kid, always glad to have fans of other teams we can have meaningful discussions with and not just tell each OMG, your team sucks.

I don't see any way Pitt loses this game at home. Why not enjoy the tight race down to the last week; it would be boring any other way

Beat Believeland!

Boring can be good if it's for the right reasons.

While it's not a 1/2 game lead as in the baseball standing sense, calling it a half-game lead would be a better descriptor than a full game lead, which it is cerrttainly not. If it were a full game lead, the Stillers would have to win and the Ravens lose in order to have the Stillers tie the Ravens.

I do agree about the exclamation points, and suggest that the young lady look up the definition of "troll". Perhaps she would be more comfortable playing in the sand-box at our smak forum.

Not one response from them, yet they continued to talk smack as if the Ravens will implode and the Steelers will magically turn into some Superbowl juggernaut.

It ain't gonna happen. Too many turnovers this year. They caught a break with KC and Indy not having decent backup QB's on the road.... that trend will not continue @ SF. Plus, I will laugh until soy milk comes outta my nose if they lose to the Rams, but it can happen.
