New York Giants vs Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction
The New York Giants continue to deal with injuries and aren't talented to begin with. The Giants have scored a combined 10 points in their last 2 games. It's hard to see the Giants turning things around offensively when the Steelers are 8th in total defense and second in scoring defense. It's really just that simple. The Giants can't move the football, and that's unlikely to change on the road against a top-five defense. I'll take the Steelers by a touchdown or two.
