Jets +2.5
Rodgers signed with the Steelers in June, missing all of minicamp and OTAs. He missed valuable reps with his team, and with the Jets having home-field advantage, look for them to have the edge. In 2024, New York went 6-6 against the spread in conference games, while Pittsburgh has lost six of its past seven games against an opponent from the AFC East.
Under 38.5 total points
Both offenses have new quarterbacks under center, and some growing pains are expected. These teams will lean on the rushing attacks with stout defenses lining up on each side. It’ll be a physical matchup, and SportsLine’s model has the under cashing in 53% of simulations.

Breece Hall Over 47.5 rushing yards
The Jets have made it clear that they’ll be a ground-and-pound team. Justin Fields, Breece Hall, and Braelon Allen will all see carries in this contest. Hall is the leading ball carrier with 104 rushing yards in two career games against Pittsburgh, including 66 yards in Oct. 2022. Hall has cashed on the over at 47.5 rushing yards in seven of his last 10 games. This prop is available at bet365, where you can get $300 in bonus bets after placing a $5 bet:
