By Zack Rosenblatt, Mike DeFabo and Lauren MerolaPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson posted a strong stat line Sunday against the New York Jets at Acrisure Stadium, in part thanks to star wide receiver George Pickens. Russell Wilson passes first testWhen Tomlin pivoted, sitting Fields in favor for a healthy Wilson, the decision was sure to have a microscope on it. Wilson found his rhythm as the game went on, showing great chemistry with George Pickens. Wilson and the Steelers capitalized on the miscue, when the QB hit Pickens for a touchdown to cap a four-play, 54-yard drive. That set the stage for Wilson to sneak the ball in, giving the Steelers an eight-point lead.

Hedge fund manager Mark Yusko is predicting bitcoin will more than double this year to $150,000. Yusko thinks investors should have at least 1% to 3% allocated to bitcoin in their portfolios. Yusko expects the bitcoin halving to lead to a supply shock resulting in another round of major tailwinds for the flagship crypto. The halving, which cuts the bitcoin mining reward in half to limit supply, is expected in late April. Disclosure: Yusko's firms own bitcoin, ethereum, gold, Coinbase and Nvidia.
