Week 8 of the NFL regular season comes to a close with Russell Wilson’s return to primetime as the Pittsburgh Steelers play host to the New York Giants on “Monday Night Football.”Wilson is looking to build on a come-from-behind victory in his first start for the Steelers as Pittsburgh improved to 5-2 with a win over the New York Jets last week. Meanwhile, the Giants (2-5) try to find some offensive cohesion after totaling 10 points in losing their past two games.ODDS AND TRENDSThe Steelers are consensus 6.0 points favorites. That includes at BetRivers, where they have been backed by 72 percent of the spread-line money and 96 percent of the moneyline action at -265.The public clearly doesn’t see the Giants posing much of a threat Monday night, but they do expect to see a few points on the board. The 36.5-point Over/Under at the book has seen the Over supported by 90 percent of the money and 77 percent of the total bets.PROP PICKS–Chris Boswell Over 1.5 Field Goals Made (-145 at DraftKings): The Steelers are expected to dominate time of possession, so it makes sense that this is the most popular player prop at the book. Boswell has made 19-of-20 field-goal attempts this season, and has made multiple attempts in five of the Steelers’ first seven games. The only times he has made a lone field goal has come in Pittsburgh’s two losses.–Najee Harris Anytime TD (-103 at BetRivers): The Steelers’ lead back reaching the end zone at least once has been the most popular play at BetRivers, garnering 1.6 percent of all prop money wagered. Harris has only two touchdowns so far, but that was in part due to the running ability of Justin Fields, who started the first six games at quarterback. Wilson isn’t as big of a threat with his legs at this stage of his career, setting the table for Harris to be the workhorse close to the goal line. He has gained 100-plus rushing yards and a touchdown in consecutive games.THE NEWSThe Steelers scored the final 31 points of the game against the Jets as Wilson, who missed the start of the season with a calf injury, threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns on 16-of-29 passing and added a rushing score.Meanwhile, things look dire for the Giants following a 17-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and a 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, both coming at home. Quarterback Daniel Jones threw for a season-low 99 yards and was sacked by the Eagles seven times before Drew Lock replaced him to finish the game.Giants coach Brian Daboll insisted the following day that Jones remains the starter in New York. Jones didn’t like being pulled, but met with Daboll on their usual schedule to go over the game and targeted improvements.”I think there’s some things you take from it that you’re trying to learn from. But does it change or is it completely different because he pulled me from the game? No it’s not,” Jones said. “We all got to play better, I got to play better and that’s what I’m focusing on.”The Giants fell despite rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers playing for the first time in three weeks due to a concussion. The blossoming star had four catches for 41 yards and has 39 receptions for 427 yards and three touchdowns in just five games this season. Teammate Wan’Dale Robinson ranks fifth in the league in receptions (43) for just 303 yards and two scores.The Steelers, who rank second in the NFL in scoring defense at 14.4 points per game, will be wary of sixth overall draft pick Nabers in particular.”He attacks the ball when it’s in the air, he makes those competitive plays,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “… Those guys who get a chance to hug Roger Goodell (on stage at the NFL draft), they have some real tangible things and intangible things.”The Giants boast the league’s sack leader in Dexter Lawrence II, who has 9.0 sacks for 65 yards. T.J. Watt has a team-high 4.5 sacks and three forced fumbles for the Steelers and could feast on a New York O-line that’s allowed 22 sacks, third-most in the league.
