Two teams heading in opposite directions headline Monday Night Football. The 5-2 Pittsburgh Steelers will host the woeful 2-5 New York Giants. After Russell Wilson’s hot debut last week, Steelers fans are beginning to get excited about how far their team can go this season, while the Giants look destined to have another down year.

Read our full New York Giants vs Pittsburgh Steelers predictions
Giants vs Steelers anytime touchdown scorer pick: Jaylen Warren (+300)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.
After an injury-plagued start to his 2024 campaign, backup running back Jaylen Warren seems to be as healthy as ever. His 51% snap count against the Jets was the most of his season and more than Najee Harris. Last Sunday was his best game of the season with 15 total touches — 4 more than his previous season high in Week 2. Unsurprisingly, the Steelers offense is much better with Wilson leading the charge than Justin Fields. Fields was taking rushing upside away from Warren and in the receiving game as well. Wilson and the Steelers put on a show on Sunday Night Football last week against the New York Jets defense, scoring 37 points. With Wilson under center, I feel much better backing Warren and this +300 price for him to score a touchdown.

Giants vs Steelers anytime touchdown scorer pick: George Pickens (+200)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
I’m staying away from the New York Giants offense as a whole. The Steelers come in as 5.5-point favorites, while the Giants team total is as low as 14.5 on some books. Instead, we’ll back another Steelers offensive weapon, George Pickens. Pickens’ first game with Wilson was a success. He was targeted 9 times for a target share of 16.7%, including 3 red-zone targets and a touchdown. It’s proven that the chemistry is already a match, and Wilson trusts Pickens in the red zone. FanDuel Sportsbook is coming in with the best price at +200, while he’s down to +145 on DraftKings.
