Don’t count Pro Football Focus as big believers in the Pittsburgh Steelers this season. They don’t particularly think that the defending AFC North champions are going to do very far this year. Their projected win totals on both the top and bottom end of the scales are not very comforting.
First and foremost, in a recent article, they posit that the Steelers’ 90th percentile outcome achieves only a 10-7 record, assuming that just about everything that could go right for them this year, in fact, does to right, to win two fewer games, with one additional game to play, than they did last year.
