Jets vs. Steelers Predictions For NFL Week 7, Sunday 10/20

With so many moving parts in this week’s Sunday Night Football matchup, locking in Jets vs. Steelers predictions is as difficult as a game may be all season. Not only have we seen changes in New York’s coaching staff, but of course, the news of the week was trading for WR Davante Adams.

Similarly, Pittsburgh continues to have their QB controversy in the spotlight. While those last two mentions are on the offensive side of the ball, we still know that these teams are built around their defenses winning games. However, that has also created a significantly low total in the betting markets.

Let’s discuss a bit more about the biggest headlines surrounding these teams so that we can get into the best bet from our Jets vs. Steelers predictions.
 

 

 

New York Jets: Going All In

By now, we all know how much QB Aaron Rodgers loves being in the media from his Pat McAfee Show appearances to regular press conferences. Among his many quotable moments, perhaps the most memorable from this week was that the Jets were “going all in.”

Frankly, most fans felt that way back when they got Rodgers over a year ago, not to mention when they fired former head coach Robert Saleh last week. Regardless, it means more than ever that Rodgers and the rest of the Jets need to put their money where their mouth is, as most feel as though it’s now Super Bowl or bust.
 

 

 

Pittsburgh Steelers: Never-Ending QB Drama

Super Bowl expectations were far from the front of most Steelers’ fans minds ahead of this season, but now sitting at 4-2, they are a bit more realistic. Despite fighting for the division lead, there are still question marks surrounding the QB position.

Of course, we’ve all known that for months now, but with Russell Wilson apparently back healthy, there have been new developments. Not only has head coach Mike Tomlin made him available, but signs are starting to point to him starting on SNF. Truthfully, his style doesn’t greatly vary from Justin Fields, but it still brings a new variable when trying to make Jets vs. Steelers picks.

Such variables have caused plenty of line movement throughout the week, but as it stands currently, here are the latest Jets vs. Steelers odds at DraftKings Sportsbook:

 

 

Jets vs. Steelers Predictions: First Half Under 18.5 Points (-102 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

There was a bit of foreshadowing for the best bet from our Jets vs. Steelers predictions when we mentioned the low total. While we understand any hesitation taking the under given that fact, we’re going to focus our attention on the first half.

We’ve already seen Rodgers’ knack for completing Hail Marys as recently as last week, so we’d rather avoid any late-game backdoor covers. Of course, there is always the possibility of such things before halftime, but trends for both teams still suggest a sluggish start.

Before mentioning those significant trends, there is also a more general one to note. As some fans may already know, unders in prime time games have been incredible. Since 2019, they are hitting at a clip over 60%, and in 2023-24 alone, they hit at a nearly 70% rate. If nothing else, that should alleviate some hesitation.

So too should the scoring of these teams in the first half. They both rank inside the bottom 10 with the Jets averaging 9.7 first-half points per game and the Steelers averaging 7.3 (fourth-fewest). Similarly, both defenses have been stout in the first two quarters.

New York isn’t quite as strong with 11 first-half points per game allowed, but Pittsburgh allowed just 8.3 such points (sixth-fewest). All that is a recipe for us locking in the best bet from our Jets vs. Steelers picks on under 18.5 points in the first half (-102 at DraftKings Sportsbook).
