Many will remember Ben Roethlisberger adjusting his record prediction up after watching Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf in person at a Pittsburgh Steelers practice last year. This year, he is moving in the opposite direction after the preseason. Giving them a 12-5 record at the beginning of June, he adjusted his prediction down to 11-6 via his Footbahlin podcast Tuesday evening. Week 1 – Vs. Atlanta Falcons Prediction: Win (1-0) Roethlisberger kept this one the same, this time pointing to Tua Tag...

Aaron Rodgers begins his final season this Sunday at home against the Atlanta Falcons. Under most normal retiring-future-Hall-of-Famer scenarios, this would be a chance for Rodgers to go on a nationwide farewell tour.
