Week 8 of the NFL season comes to a close with a New York Giants vs Pittsburgh Steelers Monday Night Football encounter. BetMGM currently lists the Steelers as 6-point home favorites. This spread has moved a half-point in Pittsburgh's favor since opening at 5.5.
According to BetMGM's data, Steelers' wide receiver George Pickens over 24.5 longest reception (-110) and running back Najee Harris over 62.5 rushing yards (-110) headline the most bet props, followed by Giants wideout Wan'Dale Robinson over 35.5 receiving yards (-120).

Betting Handle per BetMGM
The betting public is all over the Steelers for Monday Night Football. Personally, I can't say I trust the Steelers offense to beat anyone by a touchdown. Sure, they've won five games this season by at least a touchdown. However, Pittsburgh's defense received a great deal of luck against the Jets last week, with throws bouncing off of receivers hands and into the path of defensive backs. Plus, the Jets secondary was so beat up by the end of the game they were trotting out special teamers.
New York's defense is league average in terms of EPA per play. Although, the G-Men lead the league in sacks, with Dexter Lawrence ahead of all players with nine. He and Brian Burns should have plenty of opportunities to get home against a Steelers offensive line that ranks 23rd in pass-block win rate. Giants vs Steelers having such a low total certainly favors the underdogs.
Five Most Bet Giants vs steelers Player Props
- George Pickens over 24.5 longest reception (-110)
- 99% of bets are on the over
- Najee Harris over 62.5 rushing yards (-120)
- George Pickens over 59.5 receiving yards (-115)
- Wan’Dale Robinson over 35.5 receiving yards (-120)
- Russell Wilson over 201.5 passing yards (-115)
With 99% of bets on Pickers OVER 24.5 longest reception, I like the idea of fading the former Georgia Bulldog. He's always a downfield threat, however, I think the Giants pass-rush prevents him from having many deep opportunities of Monday Night Football.

I like Harris as a Giants vs Steelers first touchdown wager. That being said, the value on little known Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is too good to pass up at +1300. The former Purdue back has become a big part of New York's passing attack, and I like him to find the endzone tonight.
