New York at Pittsburgh

Mike McCarthy has already named Will Howard the Steelers' starter tonight, with Drew Allar rotating in behind him. McCarthy said this week he wants to max out the reps for both, which leaves Mason Rudolph and Aaron Rodgers on the sideline. Allar threw for over 150 yards and two touchdowns in extended work last week, and Howard held his own too. Aaron Glenn is doing the opposite with the Jets. "The players are going to play," he said this week, though Geno Smith's taped ankle keeps the top job murky. If Smith sits again, Cade Klubnik takes over, and he already turned a two-series look into ten points his last time out. Two backup quarterback rooms fighting for roster spots tend to sling it rather than manage the clock, and both teams combined for 35 points last week with backups running things. I'm on the OVER.
