Excerpt from ESPN's Rodgers announcement:
News of the Rodgers-Steelers agreement improved Pittsburgh's odds in the betting market. The Steelers' odds of winning the AFC North improved from +550 to +500 on ESPN BET on Thursday, and their odds to make the playoffs also jumped from +150 to +140.
The Steelers also moved to a 3-point favorite at ESPN BET in their season opener against the Jets after being favored by 2.5 before the Rodgers news.
