Strength of Schedule

Steelers are flying under the radar at 11-0. The only time I even heard sports pundits talk about the Steelers this weekend, was when current playoff seeding was the topic. It's all Bucs/Brady, Saints, Chiefs, Seahawks and Cowboys (which baffles me)....

 

Is anyone actually saying the Steelers aren't legit? I haven't heard that in the media once. Sure, others teams fans say stuff like that all the time, but there's clearly bias there. If the Ravens were 11-0 there'd be lots of people on here saying they are overrated. Other teams fans should be ignored.

Everything I've seen in the media is how good we are. The reality though is that KC is going to be the favourite due to Mahomes. They're also the reigning SB champ. Until we beat them or someone else knocks them out, we aren't going to be the favourite, but we are one of for sure.

 

I would say yes, a number of sports media types went out and basically called the Steelers frauds last week. It’s part of the conversation because they all expected the Steelers to blowout the Ravens. Let’s see if the same is said of the Chiefs after barely getting by the Broncos.

 

At least one guy on NFL Network did say exactly that this morning, saying Steelers are team to beat not the Chiefs.

 

Did it change when they barely beat the Panthers? When they barely beat the Raiders? When they barely beat Tampa Bay? The last 4 games they average a 3.75 point victory. We've averaged a 15 point victory.
