Aaron Rodgers hasn’t missed a start since 2017, but he also hasn’t won a playoff game since 2020, according to Pro Football Reference. Maybe that is partially why DraftKings Sportsbook lists the New York Jets (+5.5)
as 2-point home underdogs in their season opener. But maybe Rodgers is also at least partially why the Buffalo Bills (-5.5) are favored by less than a field goal. Aging veteran quarterbacks have a tendency to move around the NFL these days, with mixed success. We have seen the likes of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning take a change of scenery and parlay it into their final Super Bowl ring, but we have also seen guys like Matt Ryan land in unenviable positions, so the results aren’t always great.
