Jaguars fans, who are you picking in tonight’s games between the Giants vs Steelers?

Monday Night Football kicks off tonight at 8:15 p.m. EST as the Pittsburgh Steelers host the New York Giants at Acrisure Stadium.

The Steelers are 5.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, and the total is 36.5 points.

In New York’s first game sans Andrew Thomas (Lisfranc), Daniel Jones was sacked 7 times in a 28-3 loss. It’s hard to imagine the Giants putting up many points in primetime against Pittsburgh’s vaunted defensive front. Since 2022, Pittsburgh has allowed between 10-24 points in 18 of 20 home games at Acrisure Stadium.

While Jones picked up a few bruises last week, Russell Wilson shined in his first start in black and yellow. His rainbow-like deep ball unlocks George Picken’s talent, as well as Pittsburgh’s under-center run game. I’m expecting big nights from Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren on the ground tonight in a big win for the marching Mike Tomlins.

This is now an open thread. Let us know your thoughts on Giants vs Steelers in the comments below!
