Re: Steelers @ Giants
That's a stupid question. How'd the #4 seed work the year before? Better?
Since the advent of the 12-team playoff format in 1990, 31 of 58 #1 seeds have made the SB. That's 53.4%. In that same period, only 16 #2 seeds have made it. That’s a 27.6%, or about half the pctg of the #1s.
I don't know about #3 seeds or #4 seeds or wildcards; but there's only 19% left to split among the other 4 seeds, so I'm betting the individual numbers aren't very good.
Having the #1 seed and playing at home is by far the best path to the SB. Avoiding that out of fear or some weird superstition, doesn't make a damn bit of sense.

Re: Steelers @ Giants
No, 4-2 is decidedly NOT to be expected.
There is no reason we should lose to the Browns in the rematch
There is no reason we should lose to a rebuilding Bengals team with a rookie QB
And there is no reason we should be getting swept by the Steelers.
We are a better team than all 3 of our opponents. I can see us maybe slipping up once to go 5-1, but if we end up going 3-2 in our 5 remaining games against the AFCN, something has gone wrong."Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but NOT to their own facts" - Daniel P. Moynihan
