Are the Steelers the favorites to win the AFC North (and if not, should they be)?
Entering tonight’s game, the Pittsburgh Steelers hold sole possession of first place in the AFC North. That is thanks to the Baltimore Ravens losing in the last minutes to the Cleveland Browns, now with three losses.
The Steelers still have to play their eighth game, which they will do tonight. If they defeat the 2-5 New York Giants, they will head into the bye with a 6-2 record. That is a not uncommon mark for Mike Tomlin teams at the halfway point, but it is no guarantee of further success.
