In this article, we will formulate a Pittsburgh Steelers vs NY Giants Prediction for this NFL Week 8 game on Monday, October 28th, at Acrisure Stadium.
Are the Steelers for Real?
The Steelers really look like they could be real, and they are coming off a dominant victory. The Steelers faced off against New York Jets in the last game and the offense scored 37 points, and they ended up winning by 27 points. The Steelers turned to Russell Wilson, and he had a strong game, finishing with 16 of his 29 passes for 264 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Najee Harris finished with 21 carries for 102 yards and two touchdowns.
The Steelers are averaging 23 points while their defense is giving up 14.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 16th in the league, while the defense is ranked 2nd in the league. If Wilson can have another strong game, the Steelers are going to find success again here.
Why the Steelers Will Beat the Giants
- The Giants have lost each of their last seven Week 8 games.
- The Steelers have won nine of their last 10 games against NFC East opponents on a losing streak.
- The Giants have failed to cover the spread in six of their last eight games against AFC North opponents.
- The Steelers have covered the spread in six of their last eight home games against teams that held a losing record.
- The Steelers have won the first half in each of their last four Monday home games.
Giants are Lost Again
The Giants are lost again, and coming into this game they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Giants were defeated 17-7, and in the last game against the Philadelphia Eagles, they were defeated 28-3. Daniel Jones was awful, and he completed 14 of his 21 passes for 99 yards. Tyrone Tracy Jr finished with six carries for 23 yards. The Giants’ offense is currently lost, and they are going to need the offense to be better here.
The Giants are averaging 14.1 points, while their defense is giving up 21.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 30th in the league, while the defense is ranked 12th. The Giants need Daniel Jones to have his best game of the season.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs NY Giants Prediction
This total is way too high. The Giants’ offense is going to really struggle to get the offense going here, and that is going to be the difference here. Wilson was good in the last game, but I don’t expect him to be as strong here. The Steelers’ offense isn’t going to be as strong here, and that will be the difference here, as this game is going to end up staying under the total. Back the under to cash here.
