Aaron Rodgers tossed four touchdown passes to four different players in his Pittsburgh Steelers debut this past Sunday, as the offense led the way in a 34-32 win over the New York Jets. Will the Steelers continue to move the football consistently against a stingy Seattle Seahawks defense that's coming to town?
The Seahawks-Steelers total sits at 39.5, which is the lowest on the board for any Week 2 game. With points expected to be at a premium, the anytime touchdown odds are juicier in this matchup than most. Let's check out some of the top bets for this clash.

Top Seahawks-Steelers anytime touchdown props:
- DK Metcalf +150
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba +165
DK Metcalf +150
Who doesn't love a good revenge game narrative? The Seahawks traded Metcalf after the wideout spent his first six NFL seasons in Seattle, but the Steelers were willing to give Metcalf the contract extension that Seattle wasn't. Now he gets the opportunity to show his former team why he's a true No. 1 wideout. He didn't score in his game as a Steeler, but Rodgers still connected with him a few times, as Metcalf racked up 83 yards on four catches (seven targets). I'm a sucker for a player scoring against his former team with the added motivation and his current team knowing how badly he wants to do so, and I'll take it here at a nice plus-money price.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba +165
There was not a wideout who was more relied upon than Smith-Njigba in Week 1. He accounted for 124 of Sam Darnold's 150 passing yards and commanded an absurd 59% target share. These weren't dink-and-dunk targets either, as all four of Darnold's completions that went for at least 15 yards were to Smith-Njigba. The Seahawks' other top pass-catchers are 32-year-old Cooper Kupp (two catches for 15 yards) and rookie Tory Horton (zero catches), and both could still be getting used to their new team. I was also impressed that Smith-Njigba's effort came against a 49ers defense that looked really sharp with Robert Saleh back as defensive coordinator. The former Ohio State star is Seattle's passing offense as of now, and the Steelers just allowed Garrett Wilson to post a 7-95-1 line with Justin Fields throwing him the ball.
