None of you picked the Steelers? Really? How dare you all. I am personally insulted.

The team that averages 30 points per game vs a team without their starting safety and corner and a banged up secondary otherwise. Shame.
(FWIW, I would have picked the Bengals as well, but that's because I can't pick the Steelers ever.)

There's a special "What were they thinking!?" award for people who picked the losing team when everyone else picked the winner. You won that twice!
At least I won something ha ha...
twice.
That sort of shit takes talent, I tell ya!

I forgot who I picked last night, Pats won did I pick them? I wanna win this week, my life sucks, I can't barbecue kittens, and I got caught for ripping the tags off my mattress.

All the picks are here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing
You picked the Patriots. The only person who didn't (and wins the "What were they thinking!?" award) was Cato.

With Andy Dalton out, the Steelers can still get the 3rd seed. If they beat the Broncos (who might fuck around and start Peytonic Subsonic) at home, they have the Ravens and the Browns on the road to finish the season.
The Bengals have a similarly easy schedule, but they probably won't have Andy Dalton for the rest of the regular season at best. AJ McCarron looked okay, but when you gameplan for the Red Rocket and get the Crimson Pea Shooter, they might have some mild success. He still threw two picks (one a pick six) and only scored again in garbage time. So with a whole week to gameplan for McCarron, maybe the 9ers can beat them. If the Bengals lose out, we take the division. My hopes aren't dashed yet.
Steelers are a 6 point favorite at home over the Broncos.
