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

1. Russ Cooks New York:

Russell Wilson is ready to cook. His regular-season debut is here, and while he faces an impressive Jets defense, expect Wilson to double QB Justin Fields' statistical production starting in Week 6.

2. TJ Watt throws a sackfest:

Aaron Rodgers has been sacked the eighth most times in the NFL. Watt had a dominant performance in Week 6 and will get more than two sacks in Week 7.

3. Donte Jackson gets another INT:

Donte Jackson is hot on the heels of the 2024 interceptions title. Jackson will once again show off his game-making skills by defeating Aaron Rodgers on Sunday Night Football.

4. Calvin Austin presents elite talent on SNF:

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

5. Davante Adams has a tough 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.
