New York Jets:
The Jets had a very poor preseason but all that matters is how they play during the regular season, and postseason if they make it that far. And, so far so good for Jets fans as they easily defeated the Bills last week winning 48-28 at home. With that game they were able to shut up a lot of their critics, but that might only last a week as they are facing a very tough Steelers team.

Pittsburgh Steelers:
The Steelers should have a good year and be another playoff contender, but they didn’t look to good in Week 1 against the Broncos. They ended up losing 31-19 although the game was much closer than what the score shows. Nonetheless, a loss is a loss and they will have to regroup in order to beat a good Jets team, and avoid starting 0-2.

Game Prediction:
I believe most fans are anticipating this game to be close, which it very well could be, but I think both teams are going to play the opposite way they did in Week 1. This means, the Jets will struggle and play poorly while the Steelers thrive on offense and defense. My prediction is this is how the game will go, therefore Pittsburgh goes out on top beating the point spread.
