So here are the scenarios that can happen without ties… there are 32 in total now, I believe.

a) full disclosure, i am drunkish, so while Im 100% certain these are right, Im also 101% certain you should always double check a buzzed guy's work.....

For us to get the 2 seed if we win and the bills lose, we are the 2 seed. If we both win or both lose or if they win and we lose then we are the three seed…
That means for any 2 seed scenarios, the dolphins have to finish 11-5 and the Browns have to finish 10-4
There are therefore 8 scenarios where we get the 2 seed

So in the 2 seed scenarios:
Miami 11-5 Beats Buffalo 12-4
Steelers 13-3 Beats Cleveland 10-6

-If Tennessee 11-5, Indy 11-5, and The Ravens 11-5 all win:
Cleveland is out
2 Steelers Vs 7 Colts
3 Buffalo Vs 6 Ravens
4 Tennessee Vs 5 Miami

-If Tennessee 11-5, Indy 11-5 win
And the Ravens lose
Cleveland is out
2 Steelers Vs 7 Ravens
3 Buffalo Vs 6 Colts
4 Tennessee Vs 5 Miami

-If Tennessee 11-5, Ravens 11-5 win
And the Colts lose
Indy is out
2 Steelers Vs 7 Cleveland
3 Buffalo Vs 6 Ravens
4 Tennessee Vs 5 Miami

-If Indy 11-5, Ravens 11-5 win
And Tennessee loses
Tennessee is out
2 Steelers Vs 7 Cleveland
3 Buffalo Vs 6 Ravens
4 Colts Vs 5 Miami

-If Tennessee 11-5 wins
And the Colts and Ravens lose
Indy is out
2 Steelers Vs 7 Cleveland
3 Buffalo Vs 6 Ravens
4 Tennessee Vs 5 Miami

-If The Ravens 11-5 wins
And the Colts and Titans lose
Indy is out
2 Steelers Vs 7 Cleveland
3 Buffalo Vs 6 Ravens
4 Tennessee Vs 5 Miami

-If the Colts 11-5 win
And the Titans and Ravens lose
Indy is out
2 Steelers Vs 7 Ravens
3 Buffalo Vs 6 Titans
4 Indy Vs 5 Miami

-If the Titans, Colts and Ravens lose
Indy is out
2 Steelers Vs 7 Browns
3 Buffalo Vs 6 Ravens
4 Tennessee Vs 5 Miami

Looks like you put in a lot of effort. I do not see many realistic scenarios where the Steelers do not play the Ravens and it will be a difficult game no doubt.
 
So regardless of most games Sunday, the likelihood is another game against the infected stains, or another game against the infected purple stains.

ALSO keep in mind that the Ravens are a "preferred" team of the rog. I'm sure they will be helped along the way in the playoffs as well. Our beloved STEELERS will have to go out there and beat them with authority to get the win which I think they can do.

Interesting PLAYOFFS coming soon to a TV near you, HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO






Salute the nation

I guess this week everyone should decide what team you personally would rather play and find the scenario That best fits it and root for that... I really think its going to be a rematch with the browns... but the scenario i come up with the most is when things play out like I expect is us playing the colts... There are also so many with us playing the ravens... the one team id like to avoid is miami, because they are super erratic and we haven’t played them already...
