The Pittsburgh Steelers Week 7 contest on Sunday Night Football is finally here, as the 'Steel City' hosts the New York Jets in an AFC matchup for the ages. Here are 5 bold predictions for the contest.
1. Russ cooks New York:

Russell Wilson is ready to cook. His regular season debut is here, and while he faces a formidable Jets’ defense, expect Wilson to double QB Justin Fields’ statistical production from Week 6.
2. T.J. Watt has a sack feast:

Aaron Rodgers has been sacked the eighth-most in the NFL. Watt is coming off a dominant Week 6 performance, and will get two-plus sacks in Week 7.
3. Donte Jackson gets another INT:

Donte Jackson is hot on the heels of the 2024 interceptions title. Jackson will prove his playmaking ability once again and pick off Aaron Rodgers in Sunday Night Football.
4. Calvin Austin showcases elite-talent on SNF:

Calvin Austin has all the talent in the world, and he now has a Super Bowl caliber QB tossing him the football. Expect Austin to have over 100 yards in the contest.
5. Davante Adams has rough reunion game with Aaron Rodgers

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