Time to put on your thinking caps…
Make your 2021 season predictions below. Same rules as previous seasons. Entries must be submitted by midnight before the season opening game.
Please include (1) W/L predictions for each Steelers game, (2) season records for each team in the division, and (3) number of playoff wins. Any other predictions will be taken into consideration as tie breakers.
I’ll get the party started.

Steelers sweep Ohio, but lose 3 of final 4, including the meaningless final game against Baltimore which is fighting for a playoff spot.

Steelers go on the road in the first round and avenge their loss against the Browns last year.
Then the following week go on the road to KC and get spanked.

Does 9-8 make the playoffs these days? It shouldn’t, but the new expanded crap maybe it does. Anyway it doesn’t matter, 50-50 Ben doesn’t even survive the season. Even if they win their super WC game or whatever they call it, they wont make if any farther.
Well I can never pick them to have a losing record. I believe they will do better than everyone expects, coming out the gates strong and then following through with MT’s annual Christmas gift of “Giving the fans hell” come December. I still do not believe in the Browns.
Bills, W

KC, L
Browns, W
Ravens, W
Ravens, 12-5
Steelers, 11-6
Browns, 10-7

Steelers go in as a wildcard and win playoff game for the Gipper (Ben). Then flame out in horrible fashion the following week, giving up 4 turnovers in the process.
