It really doesn't matter because Seattle is playing the Rams and the Bengals are playing the Browns. You can't lose in that situation. Carson Palmer is by far the better quarterback, but I'm sure they will both have big games.
Do you not realize that the Steelers could still get to the Super Bowl and win it even if the Saints or Vikings do make it? The Steelers are in a different conference.
Handed Pittsburgh a win? How did they do that when they had a touchdown that would of given them the lead but got called back because of a bad call. Please explain to me your logic to why you say this if you have any at all.
