NFL Week 8 picks and predictions: Why you should consider Ravens and Packers on Sunday
Lorenzo Reyes is back with his best bets for NFL Week 8 games.
Russell Wilson cooked in his first game as the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ starting quarterback. Now, he gets a rather soft New York Giants‘ defense to continue his hot streak.
Things are looking up for the former Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos quarterback. However, the Giants have been a sneaky solid offense at times this year. One misstep could lead to a wild upset. That said, the Steelers‘ defense has been phenomenal as always, and expecting the Giants to take advantage of them would be a fool’s errand. Still, anything can happen in primetime.
Here are our experts’ predictions for this Monday Night Football matchup.

Lorenzo Reyes: Steelers 25, Giants 7
It’s simply hard to trust the New York offense. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, got a definite boost from Russell Wilson being under center. And the Steeler ground game is finally getting on track, one week after the Eagles gashed the Giants for 269 rushing yards.
Tyler Dragon: Steelers 25-16
Russell Wilson led the Steelers to a season-high 37 points in his Pittsburgh debut. Will Wilson continue to open up the Steelers offense? The Giants have yet to score 30 points in a game this year. The Giants rank 28th in the NFL in total offense.
Richard Morin: Steelers 24, Giants 14
Russell Wilson makes it two in a row for the Steelers. How did things get so bad for the Giants?
Jordan Mendoza: Steelers 24, Giants 13
Is Russell Wilson really the man in Pittsburgh? After a dazzling debut in the black and yellow, the quarterback puts up another solid outing while the defense feasts on a struggling Giants offensive line.
