New York Giants (+6.5) beat PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Oddly enough, the Giants play far from MetLife Stadium.

They beat the Browns and Seahawks as underdogs and would have beaten the Commanders if they had a kicker.

Daniel Jones seems more comfortable playing on the road, where he doesn’t have to worry about the booing.

The Steelers are coming off a strong performance against the Jets in Russell Wilson’s debut, but it could be a disappointing moment Monday night.

On the other hand, the Giants need to be motivated after being thoroughly embarrassed by the Eagles at home.

The Giants have enough passing plays to catch Wilson and keep the game at tight end.

The hope is that Brian Daboll will have a better plan for the offensive line this week with TJ Watt on the other side.

New York Jets (-7) beat New England Patriots

Yes, the Jets burned us last week.

Yes, it’s the Jets. Yes, that’s a lot of points. Everything suggests that you should take over the Patriots.

However, this game appears to be the Jets’ last stand.

They are suffering a shameful defeat.

Davante Adams just named all of his new teammates, even if he doesn’t even know their names.

Betting on the NFL?

At some point, a talented team has to have some pride, right?

The Patriots have looked better under Drake May, but they are still struggling offensively after a disheartening 32-16 loss to the Jaguars in London.

New coach Jerod Mayo even called his team soft.

The Jets also routed the Patriots 24-3 earlier this year.

Help a desperate team beat a bad team that has problems on offense, defense and special teams.

Breece Hall faces a defense that just allowed backup Tank Bigsby to attack them out of bounds.

Last week: 0-2. Jets (L), Chargers (L)
Season: 4-10.
