In Week 8 of the NFL regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to host the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. SportsGrid Previews the matchup.
Where to Watch Giants vs Steelers
- Location: Acrisure Stadium
- Time: 8:15 p.m. ET | Where to Watch: ESPN
- Spread: Steelers -5.5 | Moneyline: Steelers -270 | Total: 36.5
Steelers vs Raiders Best Bet ATS: Steelers -5.5 (-120)
After losing two straight games to Indianapolis and Dallas, the Steelers bounced back with an impressive victory against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6 and followed that up with a blowout win against the Jets in Week 7. Russell Wilson made his first start for the Black and Gold and was impressive. The Steelers have won 21 straight games on Monday Night Football, and despite their last loss being to the Giants, we’re not going to let history deter us from making our pick. The Steelers have edges all over the football field in this matchup, and this is the exact type of game environment that Arthur Smith should thrive in for calling plays. I’d play this up until a touchdown and like this play at -5.5 for the home side.
Steelers vs Raiders Best Bet Total: OVER 36.5 (-110)
Neither team is interested in playing a fast-paced game. The Steelers and Giants are expected to run the football at a high clip. Still, with what we saw out of the Steelers’ offense last week, would it shock anyone if they scored between 25 and 30 points here? A lot of things will have to go right for that to happen, but there are some legitimate holes in this Giants’ defense they can target. If the Giants can hang around long enough, and the spread suggests they will, there’s a lot to like about this game going over the minuscule number of 36.5.

Steelers vs Raiders Best Player Props
George Pickens Anytime Touchdown (+200)
The biggest takeaway from last week’s win for Pittsburgh is that Wilson trusts Pickens to come down with the football in contested catch battles. Wilson can give Pickens a chance with deep balls, and he’s widely becoming known as one of the best one-on-one wideouts in the NFL. Wilson trusts Pickens on deep balls, and his high-end hands have made him a great option in the red zone, too. This number presents some solid value on Monday night.
