    It depends what the matchups are and where they finish.

    Pittsburgh has national reach.

    Now, it is almost sure that the Colts will play at Denver opening weekend.

    If the Colts win, they probably play at Pittsburgh (anticipating the Steels are the 1 seed).

    That will be the glamour game that weekend.

    There is also a decent chance at Ravens-Steelers round three that weeend. If the Ravens get the six seed, I could definitely see them beating whichever team wins the AFC East, which would put them in the game with the AFC's top seed.

    If I am any team in the AFC, two teams I do not want to see on the playoff schedule are the Ravens and the Colts.

    Baltimore's defense is too good and Manning is playing too well.

    Honestly, if I was another team, I would take my chances with Pittsburgh because Roethlisberger could have a miserable game and lose the game by himself.

    See? I keep telling y'all 93Devil doesn't like Roethlisberger. :)

    Then, the NFC probably gets the 8 p.m. playoff game.

    Let's see how Baltimore reacts after the crushing loss.

    He's a great QB when you are the underdog, but he is not a great QB to have if you are a favorite in the game.

    Depends on the NFC game. As you wrote, the Steelers are a national draw and the third meeting with the Ravens would be a hell of a game. I certainly don't think either of those teams is capable of blowing the other one out.

    I'll have to think about that one. It seems to me, that his ugly performances come when he is trying too hard and forcing things, including the loss to the Colts this year.

    If it's Ravens-Steelers, Giants will get the night gig... they might anyway

    It's not so much trying to hard as it is taking needless risks.

    You take risks to beat a better team, but against an inferior opponent, you do not need to take so many risks.
