Will the Steelers Clinch the No. 1 Seed?
It won't be easy for the Steelers to continue winning down the stretch and claim the top seed. Still, as we stand in Week 12, the Steelers control their own destiny for the top seed in the AFC. There are multiple matchups on paper that give you some pause, but the Steelers look like a team built to survive in the late winter. The question they must answer is how many slip ups they can afford to still end up on top with a bye. What will the Chiefs and Bills have to say?

Final Record Prediction: 14-3

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns
As much as AFC North games can be a challenge, it's hard to see the Browns doing enough on a short week.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 25, Cleveland 17
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals have their bye in Week 12 and will have plenty of time to prepare for the Steelers. By all accounts, this is a must-win game for Cincinnati. Can Pittsburgh continue its win streak on the road?

Prediction: Cincinnati 31, Pittsburgh 28
Cleveland Browns vs Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers are coming off their fourth AFC North game in a row. Playing the Browns at home at this stage in the year shouldn't present a ton of challenges. Still, you never know in this division.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 23, Cleveland 20
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Philadelphia Eagles
From what I've seen this season, the Steelers can make work it work against mobile quarterbacks with a strong rushing attack. In the battle of Pennsylvania, the Steelers come out on top.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 27, Philadelphia 24

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens look like a different team against the rest of the NFL than they do against the Steelers. Mike Tomlin's recent domination of Baltimore continues.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 20, Baltimore 17
Kansas City Chiefs vs Pittsburgh Steelers
As much as the Chiefs' record might impress you at face value, on paper, the Steelers have the recipe that can make like difficult for the visitors on Christmas Day.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 23, Kansas City 20
Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers might be fighting for the top seed in the AFC, while the Bengals could be fighting for their postseason lives. I'll say these rivals split the season series.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 25, Cincinnati 20
