ASA’s AFC NORTH WIN TOTAL PROJECTION
AFC North Prediction – Pittsburgh Steelers – UNDER 8.5 Wins (-140)
We’re going against the grain a bit here as the Steelers have never finished with a losing record under head coach Mike Tomlin. We think this is the year that streak ends.
Truth be told, that run really should have ended last season. Pittsburgh finished with a 10-7 record a year ago but they ended the season with a negative point differential, they were outgained on the year both YPG and YPP, and had fewer rushing and passing yards than their opponents. They finished 9-2 in games decided by a TD or less and while they went 5-1 in NFC North play, 4 of those 5 wins they faced back up QB’s vs Cincinnati (both games), Baltimore and Cleveland. Those successes will be very difficult to duplicate in back to back years. As will their turnover margin of +11 which was the 3rd best in the NFL last year.
To say they were fortunate to get to 10 wins is an understatement as their projected win total based on point differential and key stats was under 8. The Steelers did bring in 2 new signal callers in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. The problem is, Wilson is on the downside of his career (13th year) and wasn’t great the last 2 season in Denver while Fields has never lived up to the hype with just a 10-28 record as a starter.
The defense allowing just 19.7 PPG last season but their YPG (21st) and YPP (23rd) numbers were not in line with their scoring defense so again, we feel they were fortunate on that side of the ball.
Pittsburgh just happens to have the most difficult schedule in the NFL this season based on opponents expected win totals. They better get off to a red hot start if they expect to get to 9 wins this season as they back half of their schedule (final 8 games) is brutal. A fast start might be tough with a new offensive coordinator, new QB, and they play 4 of their first 6 games on the road. We think an 8 win season for Pittsburgh would be really solid this year and that still lands them under this total .
