Pittsburgh Steelers – New York Jets: Initial situation
The New York jets are hoping to end the longest active playoff drought in the NFL but things are not going exactly in that direction. Aaron Rodgers needs to do his magic against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but does he have anything left in the tank?
Pittsburgh Steelers Stats & Form
The New Orleans Saints are in deep trouble, having the longest active losing streak in the NFC. Things looked way better for the Saints early in the season after winning the first two games of the schedule, and that is all we saw from the team from the Big Easy ever since. Last week’s 51-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was their fourth straight, and now the Saints are third in the NFC South with a 2-4 record. The Bucs started the game on a 17-0 run in the opening quarter, and when it seemed like the game was already over, the Saints scored 27 points in the next one. Somehow, they stopped there, and it was all Bucs for the rest of the game. Rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler made his first NFL start, stepping in for injured Derek Carr. He finished 22 of 40 for 243 yards and two interceptions.
New York Jets Stats & Form
The Denver Broncos have a rollercoaster season and are third in the AFC West with a 3-3 record. They had a couple of impressive performances so far in the season, but the inconsistency of QB Bo Nix is something they need to deal with. The Broncos were on a three-game winning streak going into Week 6 and failed to keep that one alive after a 23-16 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. It seemed like the Broncos did not show up for the game, as they were not on the board until the last quarter. The Chargers led 23-0 going into the final period, and it was just too deep of a hole for the Broncos, who scored all 16 points in the fourth. Bo Nix finished with 216 passing yards, more than he did in the previous two Broncos wins. He went 19 of 33, with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Pittsburgh Steelers – New York Jets: Head to Head

Betting tip and prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers – New York Jets (20.10.2024)
The New York Jets didn’t start the season as expected and sacked coach Robert Saleh after the team’s loss against the Minnesota Vikings. That wasn’t the only change the team made while on the move, as they acquired Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders to reunite him with quarterback Aaron Rodgers from their successful run with the Green Bay Packers. During Adams’ last six seasons with the Packers, he caught 581 passes for 7,192 yards and 69 touchdown receptions as Rodgers’ go-to wideout and was named to the Pro Bowl in his last five years in Green Bay. Both of them are expected to start on Sunday. However, that will not solve the problems for the Jets overnight. They average just 18.8 points per game and 304.3 yards per game, ranking 22nd in both categories. Rodgers has passed for 1,387 yards and nine touchdowns, with five interceptions. On the other hand, the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing just well but still may make some changes. Veteran Russell Wilson finally seems ready to play, and he may start over Justin Fields. Fields has completed 66.2 percent of his passes for 1,106 yards and five touchdowns, with one interception, and also has rushed for 231 yards and five scores. The Steelers have a couple of questionable players for Sunday, as Najee Harris, Cordarrelle Patterson, center Zach Frazier, and linebacker Nick Herbig all missed practice last week. For the Jets, cornerbacks Michael Carter II and D.J. Reed are out for Sunday. Considering everything, this game can easily go either way, which is evident from the odds. Therefore, given the fact that 5 of the last 6 games between these two teams finished under the total point line, we go with under 38.5 points in this one.
