The Pittsburgh Steelers Week 7 matchup on Sunday Night Football is finally here, as the ‘Steel City’ plays host to the New York Jets in an AFC matchup for the ages. Here are 5 bold predictions for the match.

1. Russ Cooks New York:

Russell Wilson is ready to cook. His regular season debut is here, and while he will face a formidable Jets defense, expect Wilson to double QB Justin Fields’ statistical production starting in Week 6.

2. TJ Watt is having a sack party:

Aaron Rodgers is the eighth-best sack in the NFL. Watt has a dominant performance in Week 6 and has two sacks in Week 7.

3. Donte Jackson gets another INT:

Hot on the heels of the 2024 interception title, Donte Jackson will once again prove his playmaking ability and take down Aaron Rodgers on Sunday Night Football.

4. Calvin Austin Shows Elite Talent on SNF:

Calvin Austin has all the talent in the world, and he now has a Super Bowl-caliber QB throwing him the football. Expect Austin to have over 100 yards in the game.

5. Davante Adams has a rough reunion game with Aaron Rodgers

Adams had a front-row seat to his former team’s loss last week, and this week will be no different. The Steelers defense will ruin the reunion between Adams and Rodgers.
