The long-awaited matchup between Aaron Rodgers and the Packers has finally arrived. <\/p>\n

Rodgers\u2019 former mentee, Jordan Love, leads the NFC-leading Packers (4-1-1) into Acrisure Stadium for a \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d showdown against the Steelers (4-2).<\/p>\n

Green Bay is a 3-point favorite, with the over\/under checking in at 45.5 total points, per DraftKings<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This will be an entertaining nightcap to Sunday\u2019s slate, as the Packers\u2019 stout defense, led by Micah Parsons, looks to spoil Rodgers\u2019 reunion with his NFC North faithful.<\/p>\n

Packers vs. Steelers odds, prediction<\/p>\n

The turnover battle will be key in this one, as the Packers enter Week 8 tied for the second-fewest giveaways in the NFL, with only three (two interceptions, one fumble) in total.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Mike Tomlin\u2019s defense has forced 10 turnovers (five interceptions, five fumbles) on the year, tied for fourth in the league.<\/p>\n

Despite this high amount, the Steelers have struggled to contain offenses in the passing game, particularly tight ends. Pittsburgh ranks second in the NFL<\/a> in passing yards allowed per game, surrendering 258.8 to opposing quarterbacks.<\/p>\n

In addition, tight ends have averaged 67.7 receiving yards per contest and have scored in four of six games against Pittsburgh\u2019s defense, per CBS Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cue Love and a Packers offense that has scored 27-plus in five of six games. <\/p>\n

Although there is no definitive wide receiver one for Green Bay, Romeo Doubs leads the Packers\u2019 pass-catchers in receptions (24) on the season, but right behind him is third-year tight end Tucker Kraft (23). <\/p>\n

The South Dakota State product has racked up a team-high 326 receiving yards and four touchdowns on the season.<\/p>\n

Last week, Kraft caught five receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown against the Cardinals, including a clutch 15-yard connection with Love on fourth down, which led to the Josh Jacobs go-ahead score.<\/p>\n

Betting on the NFL? <\/p>\n

Matt LaFleur is sure to scheme up against a suspect Steelers\u2019 secondary. <\/p>\n

In honor of National Tight Ends Day, I\u2019m confident Kraft will have yet another productive outing and pace the Packers\u2019 receivers. <\/p>\n

His line of over\/under 51.5 receiving yards falls slightly lower than his season average of 54.3 per game. <\/p>\n

I see value in taking the over. I\u2019m rolling with Kraft and Love to connect on all cylinders for this primetime clash. <\/p>\n

The play: Tucker Kraft Over 51.5 receiving yards (-114, DraftKings<\/a>)<\/p>\n
