New-Look Steelers Improve Slightly in Latest Record Predictions
New-Look Steelers Improve Slightly in Latest Record Predictions originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While the defensive side of the ball for the Pittsburgh Steelers more or less looks similar to what it did last season, the offensive side will have a lot of new faces at key positions. Advertisement And many think that will lead to an improved record in 2025 for the AFC North team. In a recent article by NFL Spin Zone's Sayre Bedinger, he predicts the record of every AFC North when the end of the 2025 season rolls around. And for the Steelers, he thinks that they are going to make a slight improvement now that they have Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. "Given the fact that this team seems to be guaranteed to win nine games regardless of what happens at quarterback, I think the floor for this Steelers team is nine wins and the ceiling is probably somewhere around 11," Bedinger wrote. "Rodgers played better last season than most people realize, especially as the season went along, and he's got one of the league's best receivers to throw to in DK Metcalf." There was so much buzz around whether or not Rodgers would sign with the team through the early stages of the offseason. But now that he has, it is time to get to work and prove why he is one of the best to ever do it. Advertisement As for Metcalf, some have called him overrated at times due to his inconsistency. But with the combination of size and athleticism that he possesses, it is hard to dispute that he is a scary wide receiver for a cornerback to line up across from. The Steelers have made the playoffs each of the last two seasons, so the team's new-look roster will be looking to keep that trend going and make it back to the postseason.

Ravens Predicted to Dominate NFL in Latest Record Predictions
Ravens Predicted to Dominate NFL in Latest Record Predictions originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Ravens finished this past season with the best record in the AFC North at 12-5. With the improvements they have made all around, they could be poised for a huge season in 2025. Advertisement In a recent article by NFL Spin Zone's Sayre Bedinger, he predicts the record of every AFC North when the end of the 2025 season rolls around. And for the Ravens, he thinks that they are going to end the season with an astonishing 16-1 record. "It's going to be difficult for the Baltimore Ravens to lose games this season," Bedinger wrote. "In the NFL, anything is possible and you can get unlucky at any point. The Ravens were a great example of that last year, especially early in the season, when they got a bit unlucky in some tight games. The floor is so high for this team, their worst game might still beat a lot of teams." The Ravens' offense was overall the best in the NFL in 2024, as they finished with the most total yards in the league. They were unsurprisingly first in the league in rushing yards, and seventh in passing yards. As for the defense, they were tenth in terms of least yards allowed. The team had the best run defense in the NFL statistically, but the second-worst passing defense. But with the team drafting safety Malaki Starks in the 2025 NFL Draft and signing star corner Jaire Alexander, those struggles could be a thing of the past. Advertisement The last Ravens Super Bowl came back in 2013, so Lamar Jackson and company will be looking to bring the Lombardi back to Baltimore again for the first time in over a decade.
