At 8:20 ET my NFL GOW is on the SF 49ers. While some may think the underdog Jets have a chance on Monday night, I'm not among them. This is still just Aaron Rodgers second game ever for his new team after suffering a season-ending injury on his first snap from scrimmage last year. The books out on the veteran's performance and he clearly has a difficult assignment here in San Francisco. The very well-coached 49ers will be very wary of trying to avoid a "Super Bowl hangover." They are Super Bowl contenders and they want to come set the tone for the season. Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey are both healthy and ready to go on opening night and they'll present a difficult challenge for this admittedly talented Jets' defensive unit. Rodgers is a big question mark, as is his chemistry with Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson. Purdy's receiving corps though is stacked, with tight-end George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. I think Rodgers will improve as the season goes on, but I'm not getting behind a 40-year old on the road, coming off such a serious injury. The pointspread is low and I will lay the points with San Francisco.
