If there's any team in the AFC I wouldn't want to play right now it's Pittsburgh. Yes, I'm biased but the last three games they've played are truly scary for opponents to watch game film of.
For all the reasons listed in this article plus the inconsistencies of many playoff teams, the Bungles included, I wouldn't want to be playing the team with the hot hand. Much like in hockey you don't want to be in a playoff series with a hot goaltender.
Cincy fans, I truly hope you finish with the 3rd seed. We're going to come to town and dominate you like we did in October. New England? You may think you have history on your side but payback is an absolute bitch. Don't think this team has a short memory.
The only team in the AFC I know nothing about is Denver. I haven't seen one game all year. Given that I don't want to talk smack on a H2H matchup with them. I will agree that Indy is a paper tiger. Much like the 15-1 Steelers were last year, yes I said it. Their record last year included no dominating "HOLY %&#!" kind of offensive or defensive performances.
We have three in a row to build on. Sunday I feel sorry for those Lions because this is one hungry football team.
