Posted by Admin October 28, 2024 Football

Week 8 of the NFL season ends with a Monday Night game between a Pittsburgh Steelers team better than it was supposed to be hosting a New York Giants team going through struggles that were foreseen.

Pittsburgh and new quarterback Russell Wilson rolls in with a 5-2 mark and a two-game win streak, most recently beating the other New York team, the Jets, while the Giants are 2-5 and coming off a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Pittsburgh comes in as a six-point favorite, about double what home field is worth, so the Steelers are solid favorites. The nationally televised game on ABC and ESPN has an over-under of 36 1/2, the only over-under below 40 points in this full-slate Week 8.

Steelers vs Giants predictions

Bookies.com: Bet the under in Giants vs Steelers game

Bill Speros writes: “Who will Rooney Mara (Phoenix) and Kate Mara root for tonight? Their NFL DNA is stacked. The sisters and actresses are the great-granddaughters of New York Giants founder Tim Mara and Steelers founder Art Rooney Sr. The hook here on 3.5 points is too much for these 2 titans of the gridiron. The Giants and Steelers were a combined 3-9 on the over through Week 6. We’ll bite on the under here, but reserve the right to jump off it goes any lower.”
