STEELERS at JETS
SUNDAY, SEPT. 7, 1 p.m., Steelers by 3, 39
HANK’S HONEYS: The game should be a tug of war with each team determined to win it in the pits via the running game. That’s why we lean to the under first, even with a relatively low number. Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields swap jerseys. Although it’s Rodgers with the motivational advantage, it’s Fields with the greater mobility, an important factor here, given the strength of the two pass rushes. Rodgers has turned into a sitting duck and can no longer make those jailbreak plays. His receiving corps lacks depth so there’s an opportunity for the Jets to make the Steelers one-dimensional. There’s a lot of public money on the Steelers, but that faith is based on reputation. We’re going to grab the points and hope that Aaron Glenn’s energy wears off on his new team.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Jets and the under.
