The Steelers once again headline Monday Night Football, this time at home against the other team in New York, as the Giants travel to Pittsburgh in a battle of the AFC vs. NFC. The transition from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson received a lot of backlash but looked to be the right decision at least after one game. The 35-year-old signal-caller turned back the clock in his debut and carved up the vaunted Jets secondary for 294 yards, while averaging 9.1 yards per attempt. He scored twice through the air and once on the ground.

As for the G-Men, quarterback continues to be a problem, with Daniel Jones coming off his worst game of the season where he threw for less than 100 yards on 21 dropbacks and averaged 4.7 yards per attempt before getting pulled mid-game thanks to a blowout. Per ESPN Giants beat reporter Jordan Raanan, Jones is not on a “short leash” and took all the first-team reps in practice. However, as nearly a touchdown underdog on the road, it wouldn’t be all that shocking if Drew Lock made another appearance, which is why Jones will be excluded in the parlay.
