Game-by-game predictions of the Steelers 2022 schedule

The hosts of The Steelers Preview podcast give their knee-jerk predictions of the Steelers 17-game 2022 schedule.

The Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 schedule has officially been released. Even though the opponents have been known for some time, knowing exact dates, times, and locations for matchups make a difference when it comes to the expectations throughout the season. For example, the Steelers traveling to Cleveland for a Thursday night game after hosting the Patriots the previous Sunday makes for a much more difficult contest than if they were making the trip the week following their bye.

Although we are still 13 weeks away from the Steelers first preseason game, and 17 weeks away from Week 1, predicting the outcome of each game gives a baseline starting point for expectations for 2022. Things such as injuries and unexpected quality of play will greatly affect these matchups as they approach. Regardless, the hosts of The Steelers Preview podcast had a special schedule prediction show and took our shot at determining the outcome of each game from week-to-week.

Below are the predictions of Bryan Anthony Davis, Jeff Hartman, and Dave Schofield for the Steelers 2022 season.
