10. Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3)

Without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers are average. With him, they still are just slightly better than average, hence the 4-3 record.

After their week eight bye last weekend, the Steelers look to return to winning football. They’ve lost their last two games to AFC opponents, the Dolphins and Patriots.

Now they have a rivalry game against the Ravens this Sunday. Anything can happen in these games. Throw the records out, well for the most part anyway.

The Ravens just aren’t very good right now and even without a healthy Big Ben to quarterback the team, this years Steelers should be able to defeat this years Ravens.

Looming on November 13th is the Cowboys at home before they take to the road for the next two games in Cleveland and Indianapolis after that. Beating the Ravens is a must. Do so and they could be in the drivers seat for the division championship.
