    We will be the favorite in every game we play for the rest of the season.

    Maybe not the Patriots, but it's at home so very well could be.

    Can't decide if that's a good or bad thing though

    One way or another we will play to our competition in 2/3's of those games lol

    In all honesty though I expect us to play our best ball at the end of the year. That's another (not as much spoken of) trend of Tomlin coached Steeler teams recently too.

    7 wins to close out 2016, 4 of 5 wins to close out 2015, 5 of last 6 in 2014, and 6 of last 8 in 2013, 6 of last 7 in 2011... only outlier being 2012 season where we lost 3 of last 4 to go 8-8 and miss playoffs. Good stuff

    Strong finishes in the regular season. Playoffs, not so much.

    They play better as underdogs. It puts a chip on their shoulder.

    Seems like when they are favored big, they expect to just show up and win.

    Well we only have 4 more road games. Lions and Texans will be a close point spread for sure. Green Bay and Patriots at home will be close too.

    I like us as underdogs.

    Bears and Jags games were favored by us by 7 points, and we lost both.

    Lions are going to be coming off a bye, we'll be coming off a game with The Bengals who will do everything they can to get our players injured.

    This game may well depend on how Stafford’s ankle does over the next couple of weeks.

    We were favored over Chicago. We were favored over Jacksonville.

    11-5 or 12-4 should be good

    Nothing. Just an observation from looking at the remaining schedule, and saying it's a possibility

    Ha! Nope, I get mad enough when we lose. I can't imagine adding financial pain to my emotional pain. The walls in my house would look like swiss cheese from punching holes in them
