What record do you plan on Pitt having?
I know the homer term will get thrown out there but even though they aren't showing much in preseason they have a cake schedule... split with CIN and BAL, win both against CLE 4-2 in the division... TEN, BUF, DET, MIA wins at home and JETS, OAK, MIN wins on the road... possible 11-5 but if they get swept by BAL and CIN 9-7... don't see that happening though. So Bengals win div at 11-5 and Steelers/Ravens at 10-6.

I am not buying the hype about Miami, Buffalo, Vikings or Cleveland... all of those teams are 8-8 teams at best, KC has improved but not enough yet to surprise the league and have a better record than 9-7... Jets and Raiders are competing for worst record in the NFL. Maybe Detroit and/or Tennessee surprise me but I don't see it in Pittsburgh. Injuries obviously can derail any season for any team so I am not taking that into account.
