The Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) host the Green Bay Packers (4-1-1) in a Week 8 Sunday Night Football showdown at Acrisure Stadium, kicking off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. Aaron Rodgers faces his former team for the first time, aiming to become the fifth QB to beat all 32 NFL teams. The Packers, led by Jordan Love, rely on a strong run game with Josh Jacobs and a fierce pass rush featuring Micah Parson. Pittsburgh’s defense, powered by T.J. Watt, looks to exploit Green Bay’s road struggles. This Steelers vs Packers game features intense QB duel, where the outcome of the game could be decided by who can make more plans on the defensive end.
While the Packers are the slight favorites to win the matchup, you can never bet against Aaron Rodgers, as he tends to always show up in big games.
Here are a couple of same-game parlays for the Sunday Night Football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers, as per FanDuel
Josh Jacobs anytime TD scorer (-170) + Jaylen Warren anytime TD scorer (+120) + Tucker Kraft anytime TD scorer (+135)
Parlay Payout: Wager $100 to win $839.38
Josh Jacobs has been on a tear lately, scoring 6 rushing TDs in just 3 games against the Cowboys, Bengals, and the Cardinals recently. He has been Green Bay’s primary go-to option, and his rushing game has been lethal. Looking at Steelers’ 18th ranked defense, he is a threat to score in this game.
Jaylen Warren is a threat to score at any given moment, looking at the fact that he just had an explosive game against the Cincinnati Bengals recently. He had a breakout game for the season, with 127 rushing yards, and if the Packers fail to contain him, he can most certainly come up with a TD, even though he hasn’t scored a TD this season, yet.
Tucker Kraft is a threat to score at any given moment. The Pittsburgh Steelers are 31st in passing defense and 19th in scoring defense, leaving vulnerabilities. TE Tucker Kraft has 4 TDs this season on 6 games and has scored in back-to-back games.
Aaron Rodgers 250+ passing yards (+178) + Jordan Love 250+ passing yards (+108) + DK Metcalf 50+ receiving yards (-144)
Parlay payout: $100 to win $493
Aaron Rodgers is bound to go above 250+ passing yards, as we expect a close game between the Steelers and the Packers. When the games get close, Rodgers has tended to take matters in his hands and attempt more passes this season, and this game should be no different.
Jordan Love is bound to go above 250+ passing yards, as he’s had 250+ yards or more in three games this season out of six, and against Weaker passing defenses like Steelers 31st ranked pass defense, he has tendencies to get more pass attempts, resulting in bigger yardages.
With a tough matchup coming up against the Green Bay Packers, we expect Aaron Rodgers to throw the football more in this game, with DK Metcalf as his primary receiver. Metcalf has 4 games with at least 50 receiving yards or more, and while we expect him to get at least 50 yards, Green Bay’s stout pass defense may not allow him to get more, making this a reasonable bet.
Here are some of the best player props for this week’s SNF game between the Steelers and the Packers, as per FanDuel
While Green Bay has a stout defense, they have have have shown vulnerabilities against the pass, and if you give a QB like Aaron Rodgers any room to exploit, he’ll definitely take it. Rodgers has 14 TDs in just six games this season, and has scored at least one TD in every game, with 4 TDs recently against Bengals.
Matthew Golden has had 3 games with 50 or more receiving yards and in this game against the Steelers, we can expect him to cross that mark again because of the Steelers’ horrible 31st ranked pass defense.
Josh Jacobs could potentially score the first TD in the game, as he is the Packers’ go-to option in terms of scoring and looking at the Steelers’ weak defense, he should be able to get the very first TD. Jacobs has scored at least 2 TDs each game in the last 3 contests, and we doubt the Steelers will be able to stopping his offensive brilliance.

mma I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
