Projected records have the Steelers primed for a 1st round bye in the AFC Playoffs

Without trying to get too ahead of ourselves here, at the midway point of the 2017 regular season the Pittsburgh Steelers sit atop the AFC standings by way of tie breakers over the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs. With a 6-2 record, it is safe to say the Steelers look poised to make a run not just at an AFC North crown, again, or the playoffs, but for a first round bye and a top seed in the AFC Playoffs.

Thanks to Pro Football Focus (PFF), they used their advanced analytics to predict the number of wins each team will garner this season.
