Expert Summary
The AFC North is legitimately going to be one of the most closely-fought divisions in the NFL this year.
With a healthy Joe Burrow, reigning MVP Lamar Jackson, healthy Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson out to resurrect his career, all eyes will be on the AFC North to see who makes it through.
The Steelers, though, may find it a little difficult considering the scale of their overhaul. Kenny Pickett was shipped off to the Eagles with Russell Wilson set to take over. Justin Fields will be his backup, though it remains to be seen for how long.
Patrick Queen was a significant free agency addition but Wilson will no doubt be their most impressive upgrade. All things considered, though, the Steelers will likely find it difficult to make the playoffs. Our algorithm puts the Steelers' playoff chances at 19%.
