Tonight should be an interesting end to the NFL week. Tonight on Monday Night Football in Week Eight of the NFL, we will see the Giants of New York travel on down to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers.

Here are my plays for Monday Night Football Week Eight

Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod and Captain By A Hook for my full breakdowns. All odds are a mix/the best number from FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.

Straights

Steelers -5.5 (-120)

In this Monday Night Football Week Eight game, I expect the Steelers defense to shut down the Giants offense, keeping them to below 14 points scoring. With how rough the Giants offensive line has been this year as well, this could become a feeding frenzy for the Steelers defense. There’s gonna be a lot put on Daniel Jones to not make mistakes tonight, and Brian Daboll will need to call a great game.

On the other side of the ball, Russell Wilson was super impressive in his first game starting. If he is able to carry that over, I see no reason as to why the Steelers don’t win this by double digits.

Props

Najee Harris over 65.5 yards (-110) & anytime touchdown (+100)

Najee rushed for over 100 yards and scored a touchdown in two straight games. I’m gonna take his over and for him to score, looking for him to turn this into an NBA Jam.

Malik Nabers over 6.5 receptions (+106) and over 68.5 receiving yards (-110)

Nabers had a quiet game last week, so I will look for him to have a bigger game in Monday night prime time. Assuming the Giants script goes down the trash as they themselves fall behind, they will need a lot of points to keep up. If that is the case, there should be alot of passing opportunities.

Pat Freiermuth anytime touchdown (+320)

Does it count as National Tight Ends Day if it’s a day late? I will be taking this to look for an extended holiday celebration by Freiermuth.

George Pickens longest reception over 23.5 yards (-114)

Russell Wilson is going to give Pickens a chance with the moon balls, and Pickens is a really good deep threat receiver. I see them connecting on a pass for about 25 to 30 yards minimum tonight.

If I had to pick a spot? Moon ball on the sideline.

Darnell Washington over 1.5 receptions (+175)

Russell Wilson does love his tight ends and this feels like an awesome number. In the last game with Wilson, Washington had four receptions. As long as Wilson plays quarterback, I look for both Washington and Freiermuth to get some targets.

Parnell’s Nasty Boy Parlay Play of the Day

Just a tad off on Sunday, but we did have the right idea. I originally was going to add Njoku to score, but got scared and did not. Either way, we lost and need a bounce back.

As for tonight, we look to mix in some different types of player props. I was able to get odds of +925 boosted to +1203 if you use a 30% boost:

  • Najee Harris over 65.5 rush yards (-110)
  • Najee Harris anytime touchdown (+100)
  • Malik Nabers over 6.5 receptions (+106)
  • Pat Freiermuth over 2.5 receptions (-168)

Let’s have a DAY! PLEASE GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY
