New York Jets NFL Week 8 Betting Lines
The firing of Robert Saleh, demotion of Nathaniel Hackett, and trade for Davante Adams did absolutely nothing to change the New York Jets’ fortunes on Sunday night after it got rolled up and smoked in the second half by the Pittsburgh Steelers to fall by an embarrassing 37-15 final count in a game it closed 2.5-point NFL odds favorites to win. It marked the second time in as many weeks that Jeff Ulbrich’s troops held a lead only to piss it away and tally another scratch in the loss column. This one stung a bit more than the loss to the Bills the prior week simply due to the offense looking electric 25+ minutes into the game and the Jets owners of a 15-6 lead. Unfortunately, Rodgers’ lone touchdown pass would prove to be the final time New York would put points on the board after getting shutout in the second half. Marred by turnovers and injuries on the defensive side of the ball that allowed Russell Wilson, George Pickens, and Najee Harris to each procure standout performances, New York went silent into the night and left the Steel City with its fifth defeat in tow.

Let it be known that the Jets haven’t swept this division rivalry in seemingly forever!

New York Jets Week 7 Recap
The New York Jets suffered a 37-15 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers, marking their fourth straight NFL odds loss and second straight under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich. Despite taking an early 15-6 lead, the Jets couldn’t maintain momentum, and their offense faltered in the second half. Aaron Rodgers passed for 276 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted twice by Steelers rookie Beanie Bishop, leading to key Pittsburgh scores. The Jets’ newly acquired wide receiver Davante Adams, reunited with Rodgers, had a quiet debut with just 30 yards on three catches. The team’s inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities, combined with defensive lapses, once again led to their downfall. Rodgers’ interceptions shifted the game, especially Bishop’s second pick, which set up a Steelers touchdown that got Pittsburgh out to a comfortable lead. Injuries also plagued the Jets, with guard Xavier Newman carted off with a neck injury, Alijah Vera-Tucker leaving due to an ankle injury, and two safeties exiting the game. Coach Ulbrich took responsibility for the performance, urging the team to give more effort to regain form. The Jets, now 2-5 SU and ATS, face mounting pressure as they struggle to keep pace in the top-heavy AFC East.
