The Pittsburgh Steelers' 2025 schedule has been released and now it's time to make our way-too-early record prediction for the AFC North squad.

The Steelers have a grand total of four primetime games on their 2025 slate, which is more than halfway to the maximum of six NFL teams can have. Pittsburgh also has a historic showdown in Ireland against the Minnesota Vikings.

Assuming Aaron Rodgers signs, the Steelers will have one of the more interesting revenge games of 2025 with a Week 1 showdown against the New York Jets, who sport former Pittsburgh quarterback Justin Fields as their starter.

Is it way too early to be making predictions for the Steelers' 2025 season? Of course it is, but that's not going to stop us!

You can check out the Steelers' entire schedule below, along with our prediction for each contest. To be clear, these predictions are made under the assumption that Rodgers eventually chooses to play for the Steelers this coming season.

Steelers 2025 record prediction

Record prediction: 10-7 (3rd place in AFC North)

The Steelers are one of three AFC North squads to make the playoffs, along with the Cincinnati Bengals (first place) and Baltimore Ravens (second place).

Aaron Rodgers proves to be a slight upgrade over Russell Wilson, but not enough to get the Steelers more than the 10 wins they mustered up in 2024. A lack of playmakers at wide receiver proves to be a major issue once again.

Head coach Mike Tomlin does, however, continue his streak of .500 or better seasons and Pittsburgh ultimately wins a playoff game, which buys Tomlin yet another season, but the Steelers promptly get bounced in the divisional round.
