Week 1 of the NFL season is already coming to a close with tonight’s Monday Night Football meeting between the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers . After a weekend full of just about every type of storyline possible, from massive contracts being signed to players being detained on the way to the stadium and from blowouts to overtime walk-offs, there are plenty of things to discuss from the first week of games. Tonight, the storyline is focused squarely on the return of Aaron Rodgers.
The Jets quarterback tore his Achilles tendon on the fourth snap of his New York debut in the team’s Week 1 Monday Night Football game last year - in that case facing the Buffalo Bills . Now, as he looks to return, the schedule makers have put him back on Monday night, but this time as the quarterback of the away team. The 49ers come into this season off a disappointing end to the year - losing in Super Bowl LVIII.
Will they be able to repeat as NFC Champions this year? Will Monday night springboard them back toward the title game? With kickoff 30 minutes away, the FanDuel sportsbook oddsmakers have the 49ers 3.5-point favorites for the game. How will it turn out? Our contributors are back with their picks for this game.
