The NFL is always searching for ways to get the most viewership possible. When Aaron Rodgers left the Jets this offseason and signed with the Steelers, the NFL knew they had to make this a week-one matchup. This will be a fun AFC clash as former Steelers QB Justin Fields is playing for the Jets now. There is nothing better than a game featuring a quarterback swap!

Aaron Rodgers is set to play against his former team, and he is looking for revenge. With the Steelers trading for aging stars in DK Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey, along with signing Rodgers to a 1 year deal, the team appears to be all in. On the other side, the Jets are the much younger team, who you can argue have better talent on both sides of the ball. But I like the experienced duo of Rodgers and head coach Mike Tomlin to lift the Steelers in this low-scoring affair.
