Entering the season, oddsmakers had the Pittsburgh Steelers at a line of 8.5 wins. Those who know the team knew it was easy money to hammer the over. Midway through the year, the 7-2 Steelers are nearly at that mark and atop the AFC North. In an updated record projection based off her statistical model, NFL Network’s Cynthia Frelund projects the Steelers to finish with exactly 11 wins, giving them an 11-6 mark to close out 2024.

Per her model, Frelund pegs Pittsburgh to finish with a ceiling of 13.
