2026 Pittsburgh Steelers Preview: Roster, Odds & Win Total
Hosts Andy Monitor and Drew Dinsik break down the 2026 Pittsburgh Steelers, covering coaching changes, Aaron Rodgers' decline, and a brutal mid-season schedule to land on a 7-win projection.
The gist
-
Mike Tomlin's departure is treated as a major loss, with replacement Mike McCarthy seen as a middle-of-the-pack coach who adds downside risk.
-
Rodgers struggles badly against aggressive pass-rushes, and the schedule backloads exactly those matchups against Philadelphia, Denver, Houston, and Baltimore.
-
The offense ranks 26th in projected efficiency, hurt by thin skill positions, weak spots on the right side of the line, and below-average quarterback play.
-
The hosts favor under bets at 10.5 wins or a playoffs bet at +156, saying current market pricing overvalues the team.
