Despite losing two games in a row, the odds makers at Tipico Sportsbook are finally favoring the Pittsburgh Steelers week. Early odds are out for the Steelers Week 4 home game against the New York Jets and Pittsburgh are 3.5-point favorites.

The Jets and Steelers are both struggling, sitting at 1-2 on the season. Pittsburgh comes into this game on a two-game losing streak after beating the Cincinnati Bengals in Week One. Meanwhile the Jets lost to the Bengals last week 27-12. To confuse things further, the Jets beat the Browns this season, who on the other hand, beat Pittsburgh.

New York is hoping to have quarterback Zach Wilson back after he injured his meniscus in the preseason. Pittsburgh will be without linebacker T.J. Watt as he remains on short-term IR with a partially torn pectoral. Both teams need this win to keep pace in their respective divisions.
