The Bengals can actually beat all of those teams on their remaining schedule to be honest. So let's say they lose to the Steelers.... they can beat the Chargers, the Colts, the Vikings and the Ravens. Of course I don't believe they will win all of those games, but they have the talent to do so. But then again they seem to fall apart late in the season. Your case for the Steelers finishing 10-6 is very possible. The Ravens match up will be a slug fest, and can go either way, but I'd trust Big Ben over Flucco any day. They can beat the Dolphins. The Bengals match won't be easy, especially if they don't establish the run game. That goes for the same in the Ravens match up. I think Rodgers will be back by the time the Steelers play the Pack right? If so, they ain't winning, unless they are at home then they have a solid shot, but if Rodgers is back before then at full strength, then that's an L. After beating down the Browns, I believe they can take that. But I don't see them finishing 10-6 unless that running game stays consistent and their defense continues to improve. I'd say maybe 9-7 or 8-8. I'd like to see Tomlin rally them to the playoffs though.
