2 Parlay Picks To Make For Giants vs Steelers On MNF

1. Take Host Steelers To Win And Cover vs Giants

The Steelers are one of the week’s solid NFL picks to cover a six-point spread on Monday Night Football, and the stats back it up. Under Tomlin, Pittsburgh thrives in primetime, boasting a 21-1 record in home MNF games since 1992.

Meanwhile, New York teams, including the Giants, struggle in the spotlight, going a combined 4-32 straight-up in primetime since 2019.

Jones has a poor track record in night games, with a career 1-15 straight-up mark in primetime, the worst win percentage among active QBs. His 0-8 record on the road at night further emphasizes the mismatch.

Pittsburgh’s second-half defense has been a standout, averaging just 5.1 points allowed in the second half this season, the lowest in the NFL. The Steelers offense also found a spark last week, improving from 4.76 to 6.2 yards per play, which ranked seventh in the NFL.

Combining Pittsburgh’s defense, Jones’ night-game woes, and the Steelers’ improved offense, it’s hard not to like them to cover the NFL spread of six points. Make sure you wager on Pittsburgh to win and cover when you bet online.

PARLAY PICK: Steelers -6 (-110) vs Giants

2. Russell Wilson Under 204½ Passing Yards (-113)

While Pittsburgh quarterback Russell Wilson turned back the clock with a 264-yard, two-touchdown passing performance last week, don’t expect a repeat. That was his Steelers debut, and Tomlin leaned on the veteran QB to build his confidence.

Now, with Najee Harris coming off two consecutive 100-yard games and Jaylen Warren getting healthier, expect Pittsburgh to go back to what it does best: running the football.

The Steelers are projected to be one of the least pass-happy teams in Week 8, attempting passes on just 48.6% of their plays, the second-lowest rate in the NFL this week. Wilson is projected to attempt fewer than 28 passes, the fewest of any QB.

Add in the fact that the Giants’ defense has limited opposing QBs to just 30 pass attempts per game (eighth fewest in the league), and you have a recipe for Wilson staying well under 204½ passing yards.

With Pittsburgh likely relying on its ground game to control the tempo, Wilson’s passing volume will be limited, making the under a smart play. Don’t chase last week’s numbers. Take the under among your NFL bets and happily watch the Steelers pound the rock.
