New York Giants vs Pittsburgh Steelers: Monday Night Football

The New York Giants are visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium on Monday.

Can the Giants save the season?

The New York Giants are at the bottom of the NFC East with a 2-5 record, with both of their wins coming on the road. The Giants have lost the last two contests and are coming off a 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Daniel Jones was 14 of 21 and went for 99 yards and Drew Lock who subbed in for him went 3 for 8 with 6 yards. The Giants remained winless in four home games this season and have scored only one touchdown in front of their fans.

The Steelers have a promising season

The Pittsburgh Steelers are second in the AFC North with a 5-2 record. After losing back-to-back games to the Indianapolis Colts and the Dallas Cowboys, they won the last two against the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets. They were very dominant in the last one beating the Jets 37-15. That was Russell Wilson’s first start this season and it could not be more impressive. He completed 16 of 29 passes for 264 yards and passed for two touchdowns.

Prediction and Conclusion

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had an excellent season so far, and things will probably look even better as Russell Wilson is here to help. The veteran is coming off a great performance against the Jets and is expected to start this game. Still, the defense is what makes this Steelers team look like a real contender this season. They are second in the NFL in takeaways and points allowed and are hosting a Giants team that combined for a total of 10 points in their last two games. There is simply no doubt that the Steelers will dominate this game, so we go with them to cover the -6-point spread. If you are still not sure about it, just read this. The Steelers have now lost a Monday night home game since 1991, winning the last 21 such contests.
