I'd much rather have Pitt take out NE next week and get the bye than rely on any of those bad teams winning a game against the Steelers or Pats. Zero chance that Houston or Cleveland beats Pitt. Jets have the worst QB situation in the league afyw r mccown went down. They might not score a touchdown all year. Only team that stands a shot is Buffalo. But in your scenario that would still only give us the 2 seed. Much more plausible to just root for Pitt this week and take care of our own business. We also have historically played well in Pittsburgh.
