Submit Your 2014 Steeler Season Prediction
And the winner is……..
Eight Ballers correctly predicted 11 wins for the Steelers: copanut, steelerfan58, chicosteelersfan, tompaulbillybob, malsor, writersrock, tuskegee_brown, and bgintn. Saneman also predicted 11 wins although the entry was late and lacked tiebreakers.
Of these eight, four also correctly predicted 10 wins for the Bengals: copanut, steelerfan58, writersrock, and bgintn.
Of these four, none correctly predicted either the Ravens or Browns. Steelerfan58 and bgintn were closest with 8 wins for the Ravens and 6 for the Browns. Mack was similarly close overall but missed on the Steelers which is the most important prediction.
Late breaking change: Because of the Bengals tie, tuskegee_brown is equally close on their record as he predicted 11 wins for them. He was also closer on the Browns pick than steelerfan58 or bgintn. Therefore….
So…. Baller honors this year go to steelerfan58, bgintin, and tuskegee_brown in a tie. Well done, gentlemen.

I have spoken and my word is the truth.
Nice quote at the end, sir. I’m with you on this. The only reason I have the Bengals at 10 is that Dalton has played well in home games outside the division.
Steelers – 11-5
Bengals – 10-6
Ravens – 8-8
Browns – 5-11
Given that my poor wife works with a bunch of Ravens fanatics (and a few Steelers fans, thankfully), I would provide my “kingdom” to the person who could guarantee a Ravens team with an under-.500 season!
Until mathematics tells me otherwise……….. 19-0, Baby!
Being a bit more realistic, though:
Steelers 10-6
Bengals 10-6
Ravens 9-7
Browns 5-11
Steelers could be 11-5 or even 12-4, Bengals will be 10-6 at best, Ravens will be 9-7 at best, Browns could be anywhere from 0-16 to 6-10
Week 01: Browns – W

Steelers 9-7

EP, I agree with you about the away Browns game. Some reason I see Johnny throwing for 300+ yds and tossing 2 TDs while rushing for 40 and a game winning drive. I hope we are both wrong.
He has that game as a W for the Steelers
My analytical mind says 10-6 but my heart says 11-5. My heart won!
Steelers 11-5
Regular season loses (Panthers, Browns, Colts, Saints, Bengals) culminating with a loss in divisional playoffs.
Bengals 11-5
Ravens 9-7
Browns 6-10
Replace browns with Ravens and I am closer to your prediction.
First 8 games – 6-2
Last 8 – 5-3
11-5 overall #3 seed, win division w a 5-1 record losing at Bungles
Bungles – 10-6
Rats – 8-8
Brownies 6-10
Win WC round over Bungles, Beat Colts in Divisional, lose in AFCC game to Donkeys or Pats
BGINTN, wondered where you’ve been. Glad to see you’re still around.
Thanks Benn…busy summer…I still check the board frequently, but most times cannot contribute anything meaningful that has not already been said…but I do enjoy yours and others commentary…
Ravens 11-5
Bengals 9-7
Steelers 7-9
Browns 6-10
“Submissions must be made prior to the first preseason game, so get on it!”
??????? Why so late?
Steelers 11-5 (split series with Ravens, lose to Chiefs, Saints and another NFC team)
