Steelers Draw 15% AFC North Odds and 1% Super Bowl Chance for 2026

3 articles · Updated · CBS Sports · Aug 21

Summary

  • Polymarket prices Pittsburgh at a 15% chance to win the AFC North and just 1% to win the Super Bowl in 2026, ranking the Steelers 22nd among the NFL’s 32 teams.
  • Those odds come as Pittsburgh enters its first season without Mike Tomlin after 19 years, with Mike McCarthy taking over and reuniting with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
  • Rodgers, who signed with the Steelers last offseason, said McCarthy’s hiring convinced him to return for 2026 after he had already labeled it his final season.
  • Pittsburgh is coming off a 10-7 season that ended with a Wild Card loss to Houston, despite winning the AFC North in Week 18 and sending three players to the Pro Bowl.
