New York Jets (-2) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
My dad taught me when I was young that betting on the Jets was usually a losing strategy.
Well, sorry.
This is more of a bet on Russell Wilson in his debut.
Wilson hasn't performed well in recent years, and the Steelers are eyeing him for a 2024 debut against a supposedly angry Jets defense.
What can go wrong for a non-mobile QB?
Also, without the rushing threat of Justin Fields, the Steelers are not in a position to attack weaknesses in the Jets' rushing defense.
On top of that, Aaron Rodgers will no doubt be trying to show the world that he and Davante Adams are the same talented players from their time with the Packers, and the Jets should be able to win on the road with a field goal.
Rodgers tends to emerge when some start to doubt him, and the Jets desperately need this win to stay relevant.
Los Angeles Chargers (-2.5) vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Chargers aren't going to surprise you, but they get the job done under first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh.
The matchup that makes me think we can win on the road is the 10th-ranked rushing offense against the 4th-worst rushing defense, allowing 153 yards per game.
Justin Herbert also showed glimpses of his potential last week against the Broncos, converting 11 of 18 third-down attempts and crushing top defenses.
Do you want to bet on the NFL?
Meanwhile, Arizona's Kyler Murray hasn't played very well since Week 2, throwing just four touchdowns and 214 passing yards over the past four weeks.
With James Conner injured and Marvin Harrison Jr. suffering a concussion last week, it's clear the Cardinals aren't at full strength.
The team with the better quarterback and better coach wins on the road.
last week: 1-1. Lions (W), Eagles (L)
season: 4-8.
