Giants vs Steelers MNF Week 8 Picks | NFL Same Game Parlay

We have a Monday Night Football battle between the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers tonight to finish off an epic weekend of NFL football, so we worked up an ultimate same-game parlay to wrap it all up.
Valued at +1300, let’s ride!
Leg 1: Giants +10.5
Tonight’s game will be an absolute slugfest, which is why we’re seeing the projected total sitting at 36.5, so I’ll gladly tease the underdog up in this scenario. The Giants have been playing ugly football the past few weeks, but overall, they have more talent than most want to admit and play the type of game that bodes well against the Giants. They’ll match their physicality in the trenches and get enough from some of their playmakers to keep this close. I still envision the Steelers winning this game, in all likelihood at home, but I’d be shocked if the Giants lost by more than ten points. Too much love is being thrown toward the Steelers, and I surely won’t expect Russell Wilson to lead his team to back-to-back double-digit victories.
Leg 2: Malik Nabers 60+ Receiving Yards
We haven’t been able to see much of Malik Nabers, as he dealt with an injury after his early-season burst and didn’t do much in his return last week as his Giants got blown out. Tonight, we’ll trust he can do enough to get us 60 receiving yards, as he averaged 96.5 yards per game across his first four games of the season. The Giants will likely have little success running the ball against this stout Steelers’ run defense.
Leg 3: Wan’Dale Robinson 5+ Receptions
Wan’Dale Robinson is the definition of a PPR machine, and he’s managed to haul in at least five receptions in six of seven games this season. Plus, he’s averaged nearly 11 targets per game across the past four weeks and still will see a solid workload with Malik Nabers fully re-aclimated. I expect him to make five grabs tonight and not think twice about it. This dude is a machine.
Leg 4: Devin Singletary 25+ Rushing Yards
While I have doubts about the overall potential for both teams’ ability to rush the ball tonight, I believe Devin Singletary will get enough volume out of the backfield to manage 25 yards. His running style matches up better against this physical Steelers’ front than Tyrone Tracy Jr.’s, so I expect Singletary to see more carries and inch his way over the 50-yard mark.
Leg 5: George Pickens 50+ Receiving Yards
Russell Wilson is going to have to win tonight with his arm again in my opinion. While I’m not confident in that happening, I trust George Pickens immensely as a receiver. In his lone game with Wilson under center this season last week, Pickens made five catches off of nine targets for 111 yards and a touchdown, and he’s had at least 50 yards in four of the six other games as well. Pickens can surpass this yardage in a catch or two anyway, so we expect him to do his usual thing under the lights tonight.
Leg 6: Jaylen Warren 2+ Receptions
The Giants’ defensive line will be able to get after Wilson, resulting in a ton of checkdown throws to his running backs out of the backfield. The Steelers always want to find a way to get Jaylen Warren involved in the offense even if he’s not leading the backfield, so we’ll look for him to get us two catches like he’s done in all four games this season where he has been a full participant.
