Play: Total: 36.5/-110 Under
Take #406 Jets vs Steelers Under
We're going right back to the Under in this preseason matchup. The Under went 12-4 last week, and we're riding that trend rather than overreacting to a few high-scoring results.
The Steelers opened preseason play with a 28-9 victory over Green Bay. The quarterbacks put up respectable numbers, but much of that production came against second- and third-team defenses, so we're not putting too much stock into those numbers. Aaron Rodgers is also expected to sit again.
The Jets are in an interesting rebuilding phase. They added Geno Smith and several veteran defensive pieces while moving on from Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner for draft capital. With New York seemingly positioning itself for a potential quarterback selection in 2027, the long-term priority is developing the roster rather than chasing preseason wins.
New York lost 24-16 to Tampa Bay last week, a game that went Over its total. But that was one of the exceptions in an otherwise Under-heavy opening week.
With preseason quarterback rotations, vanilla offensive game plans and defenses generally dictating the action, we're expecting scoring opportunities to be limited.
