Week 1: Sept. 7 at New York Jets (1:00 PM ET, CBS)

  • The Rodgers revenge narrative looms large, as the NFL seems to have set up this matchup anticipating his move to Pittsburgh. The Steelers’ defense, led by T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick, should exploit a Jets team that struggled in 2024. Rodgers’ familiarity with MetLife Stadium gives Pittsburgh an edge in a close

Week 2: Sept. 14 vs. Seattle Seahawks (1:00 PM ET, FOX)

  • The Seahawks, with Sam Darnold at QB and a revamped offense, face a hostile Acrisure Stadium crowd. DK Metcalf, now a Steeler, shines against his former team. Pittsburgh’s defense stifles Seattle’s inconsistent attack, securing a home-opener.

  • The Patriots, under new coach Mike Vrabel, are improving with a young roster. The Steelers have lost eight of their last nine against New England, including no wins in Foxborough since 2008. A tough road environment and a revitalized Patriots offense tip this

Week 4: Sept. 28 vs. Minnesota Vikings (in Dublin, Ireland, 9:30 AM ET, NFL Network)

  • The Steelers, designated as the home team, face a Vikings squad led by rookie QB J.J. McCarthy. Pittsburgh’s defense has a strong track record against rookie quarterbacks, and the neutral-site game favors their physical style. They rebound from the London loss in 2013.

Week 5: Bye Week

  • A well-timed bye allows the Steelers to regroup before a tough divisional stretch.

Week 6: Oct. 12 vs. Cleveland Browns (1:00 PM ET, CBS)

  • The Browns are in a rebuilding phase, and Pittsburgh’s home advantage at Acrisure Stadium is significant. The Steelers’ defense overwhelms Cleveland’s offense, and Rodgers finds a rhythm with Metcalf and Jaylen Warren. Pittsburgh has split with Cleveland recently but sweeps them.

Week 7: Oct. 16 at Cincinnati Bengals (8:15 PM ET, TNF)

  • The Bengals, with Joe Burrow leading an elite offense, are a tough Thursday night road matchup. Cincinnati’s defense, while not elite, capitalizes on a short week, and the Steelers’ offense struggles to keep pace in a high-scoring game.

Week 8: Oct. 26 vs. Green Bay Packers (8:20 PM ET, SNF)

  • Pittsburgh has won six straight home games against the Packers. Rodgers, if he plays, leverages his knowledge of Green Bay’s system to outduel Jordan Love. The Steelers’ defense forces turnovers, and the primetime atmosphere at Acrisure boosts the team.

  • The Colts have beaten Pittsburgh the last two years, but at home, the Steelers flip the script. Rodgers outperforms Daniel Jones (or Anthony Richardson), and the defense, with Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay, shuts down Indy’s passing game.

Week 10: Nov. 9 at L.A. Chargers (8:20 PM ET, SNF)

  • A cross-country trip to face Justin Herbert and a Jim Harbaugh-coached Chargers team is a tough ask. The Chargers’ balanced attack exploits Pittsburgh’s secondary, and a high-scoring game favors Los Angeles at home.

Week 11: Nov. 16 vs. Cincinnati Bengals (1:00 PM ET)

  • After losing in Week 7, the Steelers salvage a split at home. Pittsburgh’s defense adjusts to Burrow, and Rodgers leads a more efficient offense than in 2024’s 19-17 loss, where the Steelers were held under 200 yards. Expect a close, high-scoring win.

Week 12: Nov. 23 at Chicago Bears (1:00 PM ET)

  • Rodgers has a 24-5 career record against the Bears, including 11-3 in Chicago. Despite Caleb Williams and a new coaching staff improving the Bears, Pittsburgh’s defense dominates, and Rodgers’ experience at Soldier Field secures the victory.foxsports.com

Week 13: Nov. 30 vs. Buffalo Bills (1:00 PM ET)

  • Josh Allen and the Bills, reigning MVP-caliber, overpower Pittsburgh at home. Buffalo’s balanced attack and strong road performance (8-8 last season) prove too much, even with the Steelers’ home-field advantage.

Week 14: Dec. 7 at Baltimore Ravens (1:00 PM ET)

  • The Ravens, led by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, have won two of three against Pittsburgh last season, including a playoff victory. Baltimore’s physicality and home-field advantage make this a tough loss in a critical divisional game.

Week 15: Dec. 15 vs. Miami Dolphins (8:15 PM ET, MNF)

  • Tua Tagovailoa struggles in cold December weather at Acrisure Stadium. The Steelers’ defense exploits Miami’s inconsistencies, and a strong running game with Jaylen Warren seals a primetime win.

Week 16: Dec. 21 at Detroit Lions (1:00 PM ET)

  • The Lions, one of the NFC’s best with only three losses in 2024, are a formidable road challenge. Dan Campbell’s squad outmatches Pittsburgh’s offense, and the Lions’ playoff positioning adds intensity to this loss.

Week 17: Dec. 28 at Cleveland Browns (1:00 PM ET)

  • Pittsburgh completes the season sweep over a struggling Browns team. The Steelers’ defense, led by Watt and Cam Heyward, dominates, and Rodgers manages a clean game to secure a crucial road win.

Week 18: TBD vs. Baltimore Ravens (TBD)

  • With playoff implications on the line, Pittsburgh rises to the occasion at home. If Baltimore rests starters (as they may if a playoff spot is locked), the Steelers capitalize. Rodgers’ late-season prowess (70% win rate in December/January) and home-field energy deliver a statement win.
