There has certainly been a lot of positive buzz surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers lately, especially after how the first-team offense performed with QB Kenny Pickett. A number of analysts and talking heads have picked the Steelers as a playoff team with some even going further, like Nick Wright predicting Pittsburgh to win the AFC North.
Now you can add Bill Simmons to the list. The legendary sports writer addressed the Steelers on The Bill Simmons Podcast with Cousin Sal Friday and had nothing but positive things to say. However, he took it a step further to offer a prediction about the Week One matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
