I couldn't agree more with this. And for Sunday's game you can add in home field advantage for Pittsburgh, a little revenge factor for the Steelers, and the lack of that huge chip on their shoulder the Jets have been playing with the last two weeks, and I think you have the Steelers representing the AFC in Super Bowl XLV.
