3 wins and 5 losses for me personally.


Pittsburgh hasn't won a game in Cleveland since 2021. Tampa Bay and New Orleans are no slouches either. I do not forsee New England giving up seven turnovers again and Cincinnati is still capable of lighting up the scoreboard... provided if Joe Burrow is still healthy by this point (yes I am serious).

 

If the Steelers are ever going to win in Cleveland this is the year to do it, with the Browns mess at QB and no more Myles Garrett to worry about.

 

6-2.

The second half of the schedule gets much tougher.

 

Ditto. I expect them to get off to a shaky first half of the season, but hopefully things will start to gel as the season progresses.

 

I have a feeling that Cincinnati is going to surprise people this year. Dexter Lawrence should help their defense a lot, and they have the weapons on offense. The rest of those games are no duck walk either, hence my rather optimistic 4-4 prediction.

 

The bad thing is that the last half of the schedule is a lot tougher than the first half.

 

This. 6-2, then possibly 0-5, before finishing 3-1.

 

I'll go with 5-3. With the caveat that if we lose Rodgers at any point we're gonna look like the Bad News Bears.

 

4-4 and I could see us losing 4-5 straight second half of schedule.

Should we be 6-2 that would mean Mr. Rodgers is balling and we could be a tough team in the second half.

 

The second half of schedule is a tough mofo. If we lose Rodgers it would be ugly.

 

4-4

The schedule makers weren't kind with our two games against Cleveland. On paper I think we're easily 10-14+ points better than them. Historically we don't do well in Cleveland on Thursday nights and playing them at home the ensuing week after Paris is brutal. We probably split this series, but it wouldn't be a surprise if we won or lost them both.

I could see us going anywhere between 3-5 and 5-3. I guess it'll depend on how the ball bounces. 4-4 seems about right.
