Giants Vs Steelers Pick: Pittsburgh To Cover On Home Soil

The Giants and Steelers are known for playing more defensively. At least, that is the plan. 

Pittsburgh plays some stingy defense, especially at home, and yield a mere 3.6 yards per rush while picking off nine passes this season.

Russell Wilson will once again start for Pittsburgh and the Giants will try to play a conservative game plan that keeps the score low. 

The Giants are limited on offense with several big injuries on defense while Pittsburgh don't make too many mistakes and are second in the NFL for forcing turnovers.          

Pittsburgh could cover it late here as the Giants are expected to be behind going into the fourth quarter, if recent results are any indicator. 

The Panel takes Pittsburgh, laying 6.5 points on Monday night.

The Panel Pick 1: Steelers -6.5 Points To Beat The Giants - Evens With Coral

NFL Week 8 Monday Night Football Predictions:

• Steelers -6.5 Points To Beat The Giants - Evens With Coral
• Daniel Jones To Throw An Interception - 10/11 With Bet365
• Steelers Over 29.5 Rushing Attempts - 10/11 With Bet365

Giants Vs Steelers Prediction: Jones To Throw A Pick

Daniel Jones is 1-14 in primetime games and this Monday Night Football clash is a chance for the Giants quarterback to improve that record. 

Though the Giants have two wins on the road this season, Pittsburgh, and the 'Terrible Towels', is a tough place to play. 

Jones tends to force things into coverage when pressed and it's been that way throughout his tenure in New York. 

Pittsburgh again ranks among the top-3 in interceptions, with nine in 2024, and their defense bends a lot (20th in passing yards), but does not break often.

Expect Jones to be in more passing situations late in the game, which only helps our pick. 

The Panel Pick 2: Daniel Jones To Throw An Interception - 10/11 With Bet365

Giants Vs Steelers Preview: Steelers To Run The Rock A Lot

Our last pick for Monday night focuses on the running game of the Steelers, who like to run - a lot.

Given that the Giants are vulnerable down the middle and allowed the Eagles to run for 269 yards last week, Pittsburgh will look do the same.

The Steelers only average around four yards a carry. However, they have run the ball on average 33.6 times a game in 2024, including 35 and 36 times in the past two weeks.    

The Panel 's final pick for this Monday night is for the Steelers to run at least 30 times against the Giants.

The Panel Pick 3: Steelers Over 29.5 Rushing Attempts - 10/11 With Bet365
