Monday Night Football sees the return of Aaron Rodgers, who missed all but a couple of minutes of last season with an Achilles injury. Rodgers has proved the doubters wrong and made it back to the field, and in a beautiful twist of fate, he’ll return against the team who famously didn’t draft him back in 2005.

I’ve taken a long look at the Aaron Rodgers odds at various sportsbooks to find the best way for you to get involved on the Jets QB with my NFL picks for Monday, September 9.

The Blackhawks continued their remarkable run of this decade by reaching a third Stanley Cup Final since 2010 with a 5-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night. We’ve seen similar runs stretches these in other sports—the Giants or Patriots may come to mind—but what sets Chicago apart is its remarkable core of talent that transformed the franchise from laughingstock to powerhouse. Patrick Kane, Brent Seabrook, Jonathan Toews, and Duncan Keith are the backbone of the Blackhawks, and they came through not only in last night’s Game 7, but throughout the grueling series with the Ducks. On Saturday, Toews scored two goals in the first period to set the tone for Chicago’s dominance, Kane picked up three assists and Keith spent over 27 minutes on the ice—finishing the serie…

Things have quickly started to spiral for the Miami Heat. After winning nine of 13 games to bridge December and January, Miami has lost five straight as it gears up for a meeting with the host New York Knicks on Saturday afternoon. The Heat were most recently embarrassed on Thursday, falling 143-110 to the Boston Celtics in a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference Finals.
