    Start with Detroit, re-evaluate after that.

    Chargers game looks more winnable now then it did 4 weeks ago. Because of both teams.

    Vikings, an inconsistent team. An early lead will go great lengths to winning. If they do, expect it to go the full 60 minutes.

    Chiefs are hard to figure this year. If they lose to the Raiders, the game will look more winnable. If they beat the Raiders, they’ll probably be favored.

    Ravens, always a tough match. Gotta believe they can get one win.

    Bengals, I don’t think they’re good enough to sweep. Expect the escaloser to be used with 4 minutes to go.

    Browns, I know they beat Cincy, but have a tough schedule. They may be in rebuild mode and it’s in Pittsburgh. I call this a win.

    You are sure they won't lose 8 straight? I'm not so sure. I doubt that will happen also but agree with you....2-7 could happen...I think 3-6 is more likely.

    I remember last season all too well and this team is not much different then the team we had after winning 11 games. All our opponents have to do is not beat them selves and score 21+ points. Any team that pulls that off will easily beat us. So far we've been lucky some of our opponents have been happy to beat them selves. Our secondary is falling apart as we speak and Ben is not getting any better. The O-line will remain inconsistent but mostly bad.

    Lions, Vikings, Ravens x 1, .... I could see us stealing one from the Bengals or Browns. Anyone of these teams is fully capable of playing like crap... just like we are. 3 wins will be realistic. Anything more would be pure luck. In Tomlin style we will get smoked in the playoffs. Tomlin can't win in the post season..that's just a fact.

    You sound like those clueless fans that were saying the team was going to get a top five draft pick earlier this season :facepalm:.

    Detroit
    Ravens at home
    Browns
    Titans, I think they're going to slide without Henry when reality sets in

    All the other games are 50/50 IMO

    Chargers have already started sliding
    Bengals showing their true colors
    Chiefs are what their record says they are
    Ravens may have been "figured out" by Miami
    Vikings don't scare me

    I see a legit 6 more wins...EDIT: assuming Ben doesn't collapse at the end of the season again

    Yep I asked early in the season all the doom-and-gloomers predicting a total collapse this season and piling on at 1-3, what will you say if Tomlin gets us to 9-8 or better yet into the playoffs?

    I have a hard time not finding at least 4 Ws. Everyone of our upcoming opponents have found a way to lose. The Chargers and Titans are the hardest and yet possible.

    Agree, except I got my hopes up again after seeing what the AFC offers this year.

    Last game stressed me out, LOL.

    The Lions game I almost don`t want to watch because it is supposed to be an automatic win. An unacceptable loss if it happens.

    Well said SE, my prediction and thoughts exactly. I am also predicting the Steelers will do whatever it takes
    to draft a QB of their liking.

    He reminds me of a Pittsburgh Pirate board I belong to. They kick you off once you start making snide remarks about the A-hole owner. He is right about some of us, me included, that we tend to write the Steelers off way to early.

    The Vikings game will be a win, their best pass rusher is out for the season.

    I injuries catch up to them down the stretch. This puts them 9-8, right where I predicted.

    That being said, if the NFL has shown anything this year it’s that anyone can and will against anyone. It’s just one of this years I guess.

    If healthy no, I agree. That’s I why I said injuries will catch up to them. They are losing receivers, Ben’s hurt, now Harris is banged up. If they start losing anyone on defense the wheels can come off quick.

    don’t get me wrong, I’d love for them to win out. I just don’t see the depth that would overcome injuries to key guys.

    And the other teams will have injuries too, the Titans are already without Henry.

    What do you call Benny Snell? He came off the bench last year and put up 100 yards.

    Snell is a huge dropoff from Harris at RB.

    Titans don’t have anyone that comes close to replacing Henry.
