Cincinnati Bengals 20 — Steelers 17
“While those things could happen, I'm taking the Bengals in a close, defensive game. Score: Bengals 20, Steelers 17”
New York Jets to beat Titans
“it should be enough for the Jets to win what should be a competitive Week 1 game. Pick: Jets +1.5”
Darius Slayton to move — “picked up by another NFL team sooner rather than later”
“Despite last year's numbers, Slayton will probably be picked up by another NFL team sooner rather than later.”
Mason Rudolph to make the roster
“Beyond that, Rudolph's performance this summer also merits a spot on the 53-man roster.”
Will Howard to make the roster
“By keeping all four, McCarthy will put himself in position to maximize this season's potential and starting the post-Rodgers era next season with two young quarterbacks under contract.”
Drew Allar to make the roster
“it appears the Steelers' initial 53-man roster will indeed include each of the team's four quarterbacks”
J.J. McCarthy to move to Minnesota Vikings
“Vikings QB: JJ McCarthy. ... McCarthy's overall potential might be enough to compel a team to make an offer to the Vikings for his services”
Drew Allar to make the roster
“Rookie Drew Allar hasn't thoroughly outplayed Howard, but he's nonetheless done enough to seal his spot on the 53-man roster.”
Mason Rudolph to make the roster
“it appears -- based on McCarthy's recent comments --- that his spot on Pittsburgh's 53-man roster is secure.”
J.J. McCarthy to move to Minnesota Vikings
“McCarthy's overall potential might be enough to compel a team to make an offer to the Vikings for his services, more than likely as a backup.”
Mason Rudolph to make the roster
“One can also assume that McCarthy would rather keep two young quarterbacks on the roster, which could very well lead to Rudolph being the odd man out.”
