3-point spread favorites, the Steelers will host the Packers tonight in the Steel City. After departing Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers will face the Packers for the first time in his professional career. After a failed stint with the New York Jets, he signed with the Steelers in the offseason.
4-2, the Steelers rank No. 1 in the AFC East under Rodgers. With a strong start to the season, the Steelers captured victories over the Jets, Patriots, Vikings, and Browns. While there's been fraud talk on the horizon, the Bengals did defeat Pittsburgh 33-31 last week.
Tonight, they get Jordan Love, who is Aaron Rodgers' successor in Green Bay. 4-1 on the season, the Packers are a Super Bowl favorite and are on a two-game winning streak against the Cardinals and the Bengals. Notably, the Packers and Cowboys tied in an exhilarating matchup on September 28.
Sunday is the first time these two teams have met since 2023, when the Steelers defeated the Packers 23-19 at home. 4-2 against the Packers since 2009, the over is 5-1 in those last six matchups.
A primetime matchup on NBC, the kickoff between the Packers and Steelers will be at 8:20 p.m. ET at Acrisure Stadium. According to the weather report, temperatures are expected to reach 53 degrees.

BEST ODDS FOR GREEN BAY PACKERS VS PITTSBURGH STEELERS
2025-2026 Season Stats
GP: 6 | CMP: 118 | Attempts: 172 | CMP: 68.6 % | Passing Yards: 1,270| Passing TD: 14 | Pass Long: 80 | Rushing Yards:18 | Rushing TD: 0
My first best bet for tonight, I placed one unit on Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to record over 219.5 passing yards against the Green Bay Packers.
He's facing his former team since departing Green Bay, of COURSE I'm betting on Rodgers tonight. On the season, Rodgers has compiled a 1,270-yard, 14-touchdown stat line. Throwing for 220+ yards in two straight games, he threw for 235 against the Browns and 249 against the Bengals. Over that span, he's tallied back-to-back 30+ passing attempts.
While running back Jaylen Warren and the run game are a big part of the offense, there's no doubt that Aaron Rodgers has brought this offense alive. Under head coach Mike Tomlin, this is a Steelers team that throws 58.2 percent of the time. With that said, the Packers' defense is no joke. With Micah Parsons on the team, the Packers rank No. 7 in defensive DVOA and No. 5 in defensive passing DVOA.
If two people are familiar with each other, it's Packers head coach Matt Lafleur and Aaron Rodgers.
This season, the Packers are ranked No. 17 in passing yards to opposing quarterbacks, and Joe Flacco (219), Dak Prescott (319), Jayden Daniels (200), and Jared Goff (225) all tallied 200+ passing yards against Green Bay. Given that Green Bay ranks No. 17 in EPA/play, let's give Rodgers a shot here.
Overall, Rodgers has 25 completions on 64 attempts over the last two weeks. We already know he has established a connection with wideout DK Metcalf, and Rogers has learned to utilize multiple tight ends in Freiermuth, Smith, and Washington.

GP: 6 | REC: 23 | Targets: 32 | Receiving Yards: 326 | TD: 4 | Receiving Long: 57 | First Down: 16
My second-best bet for tonight, I placed one unit on Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft to record over 20.5 yards in the longest reception against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Kraft has emerged as one of Jordan Love's preferred targets, especially since wide receivers Matthew Golden and Christian Watson are questionable to play without them. Love loses two downfield threats.
Amongst a thin, injured receiver corps, Kraft leads all receivers with 32 targets and 326 receiving yards. Averaging 14.2 yards per reception, Kraft has a longest reception of 57 yards against the Commanders.
With this player prop line set at 20.5, we've seen Kraft carry out long receptions of 24 and 22 yards over the last two weeks against the Bengals and Cardinals—a clear down and across the field threat for Love.
Not only is Kraft coming off a season-high 10 targets, has also had seven receptions over the last two games. Not to mention, he has scored four touchdowns in the first six games!
Hauling in 19.5 percent of team targets, the tight end is averaging 9.3 yards after the catch and 27 air yards per game. Now he gets a leaky Steelers defense that ranks No. 18 in defensive passing DVOA. Weak against tight ends, Pittsburgh allows the fourth-most yards to tight ends per game (67.2).
Last week, we saw Bengals tight end Noah Fant haul in a 25-yard reception, and this Steeler defense has given up 90 receiving yards to Patriots tight end Hunter Henry this season.
2025-2026 Season Stats
GP: 2 | CMP: 47 | Attempts: 71 | CMP: 66.2 % | Passing Yards: 542| Passing TD: 2 | Pass Long: 51 | Rushing Yards: 89 | Rushing TD: 2
My third-best bet for tonight, I placed one unit on Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs to record over 54.5 receiving yards Sunday night against the Steelers.
Aside from Kraft, Doubs is one of Love's most trusted receivers and may carve out a larger role if Christian Watson and Matthew Golden are unable to lace up.
Leading the entire team with 36 targets, Doubs has tallied 24 receptions, 306 receiving yards, and four touchdowns on the season. He's arguably coming off his best performance of the season with 72 receiving yards, eight targets, and six receptions against the Cardinals.
Not to mention, he has 17 targets over the last two weeks, and has cleared this prop line in three straight weeks now. It's safe to say Doubs is the clear No. 1 wideout for now.
Aforementioned, the Steelers' defense showed just how vulnerable they are against the Bengals, and they give up the fourth-most receiving yards to receivers.
Doubs should feast tonight, especially since Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson demolished the Steelers' secondary for 161 and 126 receiving yards over the last three weeks. Plus, Jaxon Smith-Njigba (100) and Garrett Wilson (95) crushed this player prop line.
