Part 1/7:
AFC North Division Tensions
The race for the AFC North is heating up as both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens sit with identical records at 10-5. However, according to analytics, the Steelers hold a slight edge, boasting a 53% chance of winning the division compared to the Ravens' 47%. This disparity largely hinges on their respective conference records—an important tiebreaker in the NFL landscape.
The stakes were laid out clearly: If the Steelers can clinch crucial wins against both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals at home, they effectively secure their division title. However, the Ravens can snatch the championship from them if Pittsburgh falters against Kansas City, provided Baltimore is able to win their remaining games.
