Their remarkable performance has solidified their status as the team to beat in the league, with an electrifying offense and a formidable defense.

Why bet on the Steelers?
Despite a change at starting quarterback, the Pittsburgh Steelers were undeterred and scored their highest point total in nearly three years during Russell Wilson’s team debut last week.
With a 5-2 record, the Steelers entrusted Wilson with his first start of the season on Sunday night, leading to a resounding 37-15 victory over the New York Jets.
Amazingly, the team scored the final 31 points of the game as Wilson, who had been sidelined earlier in the season due to a calf injury, turned in an impressive performance, throwing for 264 yards and two touchdowns on 16/29 passing, as well as contributing a touchdown on the ground.
Now, the Steelers have a chance to get their sixth win of the season in this week 8 against the Giants.
Why bet on the Giants?
Meanwhile, the Giants have a 2-5 record and only managed to score ten points during their recent streak of two consecutive losses, and there are no significant changes anticipated on the offense for this week 8.
After losses to the Cincinnati Bengals (7-17) and Philadelphia Eagles (3-28), both at home, the team’s prospects look bleak. Quarterback Daniel Jones experienced a season-low 99 air yards, and was picked off by the Eagles seven times before being replaced by Drew Lock to close out the game.
The Giants face a daunting task against the Pittsburgh Steelers, whose defense, led by T. J. Watt, ranks second in the NFL in turnovers and points allowed.
Adding to the challenge, this matchup takes place in Pittsburgh, against a team that has not lost a Monday night home game since 1991, riding a streak of 21 consecutive victories.
