The New York Jets make the quick trip to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers on Sunday Night Football.
Pittsburgh is 4-2 this season snapped a two-game losing streak with a smackdown victory in Las Vegas over the Raiders (32-13) last weekend.
Russell Wilson will make his debut in Pittsburgh on SNF after the Steelers benched Justin Fields following the hot 4-2 start. The Steelers are 11-9 at home since the start of the 2021 season otherwise known as the post Big Ben era.
The New York Jets are 2-4 this year after a 23-20 home loss against the Buffalo Bills on Primetime in Jeff Ulbright’s debut as head coach. New York is back under the bright lights of primetime for the fourth time this season and third consecutive week but with a new weapon. The Jets traded for Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers’ former WR1, so the excitement continues to grow in New York.

Game odds for Steelers vs. Jets - Week 7
The latest odds as of Thursday courtesy of DraftKings:
- Moneyline: Jets (-115), Steelers (-105)
- Spread: Jets -1.5 (-110)
- Total: 39
The Steelers opened as -1.5 point favorites at home against the Jets, but bettors have flip-flopped that line and made the Jets the -1.5 favorite following New York’s 23-20 loss to Buffalo. I agree with that movement, especially after the Jets acquired Davante Adams.
The spread may close around -2.5 or -3 in favor of the Jets, and the Total continues to climb from its original number of 36.5 all the way to 39.

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Jets to beat the Steelers and cover as underdogs in Pittsburgh on Sunday Night Football:
“The Pittsburgh Steelers were favored for five-straight games with the +4 tag at the Falcons in Week 1 as the only game being an underdog. Now, Pittsburgh is a slight +1.5-point home underdog to the Jets on Sunday Night Football and I think that is a sign of what’s to come.
Russell Wilson will walk into a tough situation granted it’s a home game and the team is 4-2. The Jets’ defense hasn’t been the problem with 17 or fewer points permitted in four of six games. With Justin Fields, Pittsburgh only achieved 200-plus passing yards two out of six games, they hope Wilson can change that.
The New York offense showed some potential versus Buffalo and after trading for Davante Adams, the Jets’ momentum could be riding high. Breece Hall had his best game of the season against the Bills with 113 rushing yards on 18 carries and six receptions for 56 yards, while Aaron Rodgers threw a season-high 294 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
I like the direction of the Jets and as a Steelers fan, the miraculous run by Fields and Pittsburgh has come to an end. Give me the Jets ML (-115) in Pittsburgh.”
