Eli Manning, Big Ben square off in big test for New York Giants
Game Details:
- New York Giants (8-3)
- Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5)
- Sunday, 4:25 p.m. on FOX
- Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA
- Odds: Pittsburgh (-6 )
Prediction: Giants 24, Steelers 32
These two squads match up very well together, yet are nestled in two entirely different boats.
The Giants have been hot lately and the Steelers have grappled with injuries that have resulted in some struggles as the season reaches the critical point of December.
It’s ultimately going to come down to a shootout between Eli and Odell vs Big Ben and Antonio Brown. Should be relatively equal, except the latter duo have a wild card in Le’Veon Bell, who will make the difference in the friendly confines of Heinz Field.
Bold Predictions:
- Bell rushes for 166 yards on 27 carries and scores the game-winning touchdown, on a reception.
- Paul Perkins scores his first career touchdown.
- Big Ben explodes for four touchdown passes.
