Pittsburgh Stelers @ New York Jets: preview, predictions and odds

Aaron Rodgers returns to Metlife Stadium to face their former team when the Pittsburgh Steelers kick off the 2025 season with a road game against New York Jets.

Rodgers signed in Pittsburgh what most hopes to be his Final Act at the NFLAfter leaving the jets after a nightmare spell in New York.

Following a Bay Bay Packers Blockbuster trade, Rodgers suffered a break of Achilles four played in their debut with the Jets in 2023, and their only full season with them was terrible when they fell until a 5-12 end.

With a change of regime for the jet, Rodgers told him that they would go in a different direction and will go to revenge, as the steelers seek to start what they expect to be a season where they are seriously aware of the right foot.

Pittsburgh left Playoffs in Wild Card Ronda last season, his success when he reached the playoffs in part by going down Justin Fields, who went through 4-2 as a starter so that the Steelers started the 2024 campaign before being Russell Wilson benches.

Fields signed with the Jets in a two-year contract this season drops and will go against a defense he knows very well, as he aims to show the steelers that they made the wrong decision not to make their solution to the center.

But Fields hopes to do this has already suffered a setback, and the jets lost their Alijah Vera-Tucker guard, their best offensive lineman, to a torn tricep.

Vera-Tucker will miss the whole season, with Joe Tippmann who is likely to slip from center to law to fill the void.

Jets need this change to work immediately against a Steelers defensive line that has TJ Watt, Alex Highsmith and Cam Hayward. Pittsburgh will be without Rookie Derrick Harmon defensive attacks due to a knee injury.

However, the defense of the jets is imposed similarly with high level talent at all levels. If the tastes of Quinnen Williams, Will McDonald and Jermaine Johnson can besiege Rodgers while the secondary forces him to keep the ball, it could be a difficult return to New York for the future Famer Hall.

Steelers are the favorites, but on the road in a hostile environment, it may be difficult for Rodgers to build the necessary chemistry with DK Metcalf and their receivers against an extremely talented defense.

It is likely to be another season, but they have enough weapons on both sides of the ball to turn it into a disappointing day for Rodgers and begin the Aaron Glenn era with a narrow victory.

Prediction: Jets 20-17 Steelers
