7* NFL Best Bet: Giants vs Steelers
(NFL) Giants (NYG) vs. Steelers (PIT),
Total: 36.50 | -112.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Steelers have Russell Wilson back, and he threw for 264 yards last week against the Jets' #2 Pass defense. Still, he will be facing the Giants' #6th ranked pass defense, and I don't expect Wilson to have the same success as he did last week. Another reason is that the Steelers will look to run the ball more, as they are 8th in the league in rushing, while the G-Men are 23rd against the run. I can also see the Steelers getting ahead and then taking the Air out of the ball. The Giants have a pathetic offense that averages just 14.4 ppg while the Steelers have allowed just 14.4 ppg. Lastly, the Under is 10-0 in New York's last 10 games vs the AFC North and 6-1 in Pittsburgh's last 7 non-conf home games. Take the Under in this one.
