2025 NFL Odds: Public Backing Aaron Rodgers, Steelers Over 8.5; To Make Playoffs
Aaron Rodgers hasn't taken one snap as a Steeler yet, but that hasn't stopped bettors from backing him and Pittsburgh to make some noise during the season and into the playoffs. At BetMGM, the Steelers' 8.5 is the second-most-bet Over regular-season win total. They're behind the Seahawks, whose win total is 8.5 as well. Also at the book, bettors like the Black and Yellow to earn a postseason bid. In that market, Steelers +140 to make the playoffs is second in tickets and third in handle. Could bettors' faith in Pittsburgh be because Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season as head coach or because Rodgers — the four-time MVP — is under center? Let's take a glance at a few more Steelers odds at BetMGM as of Aug. 6. Super Bowl+4000 (bet $10 to win $410 total) AFC Championship+2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total) AFC No. 1 Seed+2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total) AFC Super Bowl Winning Conference-115 (bet $10 to win $18.70 total) AFC North Division Winner+550 (bet $10 to win $65 total) AFC North Second Place+290 (bet $10 to win $39 total) Rodgers comes into his Steelers tenure after two years playing for the Jets. In his debut with New York, he tore his left Achilles tendon just four snaps into the first game of the season. Year 1 with Gang Green was over before it ever really began. In Year 2, he passed for 28 touchdowns and 3,897 yards, but the Jets missed the playoffs, finishing with a 5-12 record. Then, in February, the Jets announced they were moving on from the 10-time Pro Bowler, and in June, the Steelers announced they were signing him to a one-year deal. Will the Tomlin-Rodgers tandem spell success for the Steelers, ultimately helping bettors who've backed them to cash in? Well, according to FOX Sports NFL writer Henry McKenna, that answer is complicated. "The Steelers have plenty of talent. Coach Mike Tomlin, Rodgers, DK Metcalf, T.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward, Darius Slay and Alex Highsmith could take this team to a championship. Technically," McKenna wrote. He continued: "Rodgers is a destabilizing force set to meet his match in Tomlin, one of the NFL's steadiest leaders. But chaos wins every time. Check out Murphy's Law. "It's possible to imagine Rodgers overwhelming Tomlin. And maybe everything falls apart in Pittsburgh, leading to a total cleaning of house. That's the wild thing about Rodgers. There might be no player with greater risk. And at his age, the rewards are less obvious." Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Panthers star Jaycee Horn to miss preseason game after getting in car accident en route to stadium
Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn was involved in a car accident on his way to the team's stadium on Wednesday and walked away with stiches, head coach Dave Canales confirmed. Horn, 25, was alone in his car when the incident occurred at an intersection just outside the stadium, a team spokesperson said. No one involved in the accident was transported by emergency medical personnel, according to the team rep. Horn was evaluated by team medical personnel. Panthers coach Dave Canales said that Horn got a few stitches in his thumb area. "I'm glad that Jaycee was OK," Canales said. "He did have to have a few stitches in his left thumb-area. So they got that all cleaned up and sutured up. . . . It doesn't seem like anything else happened, but you know we're just gonna kind of evaluate him each day." Horn did not participate in the team's joint practice with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday. Horn will also not play the Panthers' preseason game versus the Browns on Friday. Canales hopes Horn will be able to play in the team's second preseason game against the Houston Texans on Aug. 16. "Hopefully we can get him turned around so we can take advantage of an opportunity in Houston for that game, which was kind of the plan all along," Canales said. Fox News Digital reached out to Horn's agent for comment but did not immediately get a response. Horn, who made the Pro Bowl last season, is one of the best players on the team. Since the team selected him with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of South Carolina, he has been an impact player. Horn has missed time with injuries in his career as he has only played in 37 of a possible 68 regular-season games in his four-year career. However, despite the injury woes, the team signed Horn to a four-year, $100 million contract in March. At the time, his contract extension made him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL.

Cowboys' Jerry Jones not confident Micah Parsons will play Week 1 after trade request
Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he does not know if star pass rusher Micah Parsons will play in Week 1. The Cowboys begin their season Sept. 4 against the division rival and defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. This week, Jones was asked if he was confident Parsons would be a part of that lineup. "No, absolutely not," Jones told reporters after the team's joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams Tuesday. "A big part of that is his decision. How would I know that? No, but I'm urgent." Jones said that he has not spoken to Parsons since the star made a trade request, but Jones said that stays "urgent." Jones has remained steadfast in his praise of Parsons after his trade request. "I think the world of Micah," Jones said. "Like I've said, I've had social time with Micah, which isn't always the case, but I have. He's one of the brightest people I've ever been around, and he's very, very talented. Now, how we ultimately (mix) him in with our future is a challenge, and I'm built for it, he's built for it." Parsons has still attended practice and attended meetings while the contract talks continue to stall. The four-time Pro Bowler announced his trade request on social media Friday, and Parsons cited "radio silence" from the Cowboys regarding a contract extension in both this and last offseason. In Parsons' post to social media, he said he did everything he could to show he wanted to stay with the Cowboys. "Yes I wanted to be here. I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a Cowboy and wear the star on my helmet. I wanted to play in front of the best fans in sports and make this Americas [sic] team once again. The team my pops and I grew up cheering for way up in Harrisburg, PA. Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here," Parsons wrote in his post. "I no longer want to be held to close door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization, our fans and my teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me. I had purposely stayed quiet in hopes of getting something done." If Parsons does not play Week 1, it would be a major blow to the team's defense. He has been one of the premier passrushers since being selected 12th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Penn State. Parsons has made the Pro Bowl in all four seasons of his career. In 63 career games, Parsons has 52½ sacks with 172 solo tackles and nine forced fumbles. Last season, Parsons had 12 sacks in 13 games.
