New York Giants at Pittsburgh Steelers odds, expert picks, how to watch: Can Steelers complete New York sweep?

Quarterbacks will be in the spotlight on Monday night when the Steelers host the Giants. Russell Wilson’s debut went well for the Steelers in a primetime win over the Jets in Week 7. Things aren’t going so hot for Jones and the struggling Giants. Jones was benched during the fourth quarter of New York’s latest loss — creating uncertainty about his future as a starter. Pittsburgh is favored by close to a touchdown over the Giants.

Pittsburgh’s passing game looks rejuvenated with Wilson under center. After shaking off some early rust, he and the Steelers ran off 31 unanswered points on the Jets.

Former starter Justin Fields was replaced in part for only averaging 184 passing yards over the first six games. In his debut, Wilson put up 264 passing yards and developed instant chemistry with No. 1 target George Pickens — connecting for 111 yards and a touchdown.

A sluggish Steelers backfield is also coming to life. Lead back Najee Harris rushed for 100 yards in back-to-back games for only the second time in his career. With the Giants run defense dead last in opponent yards per carry, Harris could be in for another strong afternoon.

New York’s offense looks lifeless. The Giants rank near the bottom in most major offensive categories. Perhaps most concerning, the Giants haven’t generated a play longer than 15 yards from scrimmage over the last two games.

Incapable of throwing a consistent deep ball, Jones was replaced by backup Drew Lock against the Eagles. It doesn’t help Jones that the Giants can’t run the ball (28th in rushing yards per attempt) or protect the quarterback (23rd in sack rate). The Giants could be in for another uphill battle against a punishing Steelers defense that is second in points allowed.
