The third-round pick from Penn State completed 10 of 13 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns and added another touchdown rushing in his first pro action. "I think calling him a steal is just a tad premature, but Allar might already be more talented than anything the Jets have," Severance tells SportsLine.
"And Allar should play a lot." Severance also notes that New York has lost three straight preseason games. The Jets are slight NFL betting favorites, but Severance likes the Steelers to cover the spread betting line of +1.5. Time: 4:10 p.m. | Location: Milwaukee | TV: MLB.TV | Stream: Fubo (Try for free) SportsLine pick -- Model: Over 6 (-101) | Expert: Brewers -135 (Adam Thompson) As good as he has been all season, Sale has been hit-or-miss over his last four starts.
