I would never state my team, in this case the Steelers, let alone any team I root for is the best, #1 etc. That is just how I am. I will say the stats you listed are factually true but have trended downward (improved) since the beginning of the season. Are the Steelers the best team right now? I dont know if I'm being honest but they made NY look really bad in their house.
Now, about those teams you listed that you think are better.
Falcons are a fraud until they win some playoff games. I dont care if they run the table like NE did years ago, they have to back it up in the playoffs for once. No.
Bears are pretty good and outside of one horrible game against GB, can beat anyone. Probably better.
Packers have the offense to beat anyone but we know how well that worked out for them last year. Aaron Rodgers passing was under 50% at home vs Cardinals, huh? Even.
Texans are a very good and complete team. I'd give them the nod if the game is at their home.
49ers, very good team but Alex Smith just isnt a super QB who, in my opinion, can lead them to the promise land. That D is ridiculous though but this year has been pushed around a little bit. Pretty even but, like the Texans, give them the nod at their home (even with the lights working right & Ben on 2 good legs).
Patsies are very young but rising up. For them, its Dr Jekyll/Mr Hide, you just never know what team will show up. Toss up.
