  • Week 8 is in the bag except for the matter of the New York Giants vs Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football
  • Like any responsible gambler, we need to grab some action on this thing and we need to do it now
  • Find two of my favorite Giants vs Steelers player props to bet for this MNF matchup

We only have one NFL game tonight but if we’re being honest, we will get by. For 46 years, I’ve been watching just one NFL game on Monday nights and I’m doing fine. I mean, obviously, we want two, but if there is only one, we’ll be fine. We’ve done more with less. Lucky for us, this one game tonight is between the New York Giants vs Pittsburgh Steelers. We’ve got enough star power to make this thing interesting. Even if we didn’t, we have gambling so we’ll be plenty interested. I’ve gone through every single NFL player prop I could find, and if I’m being honest, we have the perfect setup for greatness. This could easily be the greatest night of our lives. Maybe even better.

Jaylen Warren Is Fully Healthy

What we want in this game we play is change. Anytime there is change, the books are at a disadvantage since they have to adjust their pricing. Last week in Pittsburgh, we saw two changes: Russell Wilson was installed as the starter, and Jaylen Warren was fully back from the injured list. That’s the kind of change we need.

This has nothing to do with our bet, but check out how this guy just eats pass rushers.


Here’s the thing we learned about the Steelers last week. Their backfield is split. Kind of. Warren actually played more snaps than Najee Harris, but Harris had more rush attempts. The haters are going to say that the split was game-script dependant but Harris was on the field for Pittsburgh’s final possession. Simply put, game script had nothing to do with the split.

Tonight, the Steelers will see the New York Giants. So far this season, the Giants have turned out to be the worst run defense in the NFL. We’re talking 5-plus yards per carry for opposing rushers. The Steelers know this and you have to think they run the ball all night. And now that Justin Fields is out of the mix, that means more carries for the backs. This feels easy.

Wandale Robinson Catches Everything

What we need tonight is a guy that catches balls near the line of scrimmage. Those are the easiest ones to catch. Especially, when Danny Dimes is the quarterback throwing these balls. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand this.

Lucky for us, the Giants have Wandale Robinson and everyone has known for awhile that he would thrive in Brian Daboll’s offense.


Here’s the thing. There is no chance the Giants will be able to run the ball on the Steelers tonight. Pittsburgh has the third-best run defense in the NFL. Nobody can run on them. On top of that, the Steelers should be able to move the ball on the Giants. Simply put, at some point, the Giants will be playing this thing from behind which means the ball will have to be in the air.

Obviously the Giants have Malik Nabers and he should get his. The thing is, Wandale works a little closer to the line of scrimmage. And anytime we’re betting a wide receiver for the Giants, we want him close to the line of scrimmage. Wandale has gone over this number in five of seven games this season and tonight should be number six. It’s the perfect game script.

This could easily go down as the greatest bet of all time. Maybe better.

  • The Pick: Wandale Robinson Over 5.5 Receptions (+155) at Bally Bet
