Tonight, the Pittsburgh Steelers have an opportunity to take a agency maintain of the AFC North. The Baltimore Ravens dropped their recreation towards the Cleveland Browns so the Steelers must capitalize by beating the New York Giants. The Giants aren’t precisely an awesome workforce, however within the NFL, that doesn’t assure a win. Nevertheless, Yahoo Sports activities analyst Frank Schwab believes the Steelers will crush the Giants.
“I don’t must see Daniel Jones and the Giants in primetime,” Schwab stated Monday on the Inside Protection podcast. “The NFL has this infatuation like we’re all sitting round going, ‘Oh my god, the Giants are on primetime tonight, let’s tune in.’ No, we hate this workforce.
“They’re not enjoyable to observe in any means, form, or kind. They’re gonna get blasted by the Pittsburgh Steelers, who’re the far superior workforce. I don’t even need to watch this recreation.”
The Giants have had a handful of primetime video games this yr, they usually haven’t delivered an thrilling product. In Week 4, throughout Thursday Evening Soccer, the Giants performed in an in depth recreation towards the Dallas Cowboys. Nevertheless, they in the end misplaced in a forgettable recreation. In Week 6, they performed towards the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Evening Soccer, placing up a dud by scoring a measly seven factors.
Hopefully, for the Steelers’ sake, the Giants’ poor efficiency in primetime continues this week. Most individuals agree with Schwab that the Steelers ought to roll via the Giants. Though the Steelers haven’t been good, their protection has been elite. On the very least, that must be sufficient to get them out of this recreation with a win.
Regardless of all that, Steelers followers are doubtless anticipating this recreation to come back right down to the wire. Over the previous two weeks, the Steelers have put up comparatively stress-free wins. Nevertheless, followers know that isn’t regular. Normally, regardless of if the opponent is nice or dangerous, the Steelers make their followers maintain their breath till the sport is over.
The Steelers are constructed to win shut video games, and whereas that’s good, it tends to go away them in additional than their justifiable share of one-score video games. They need to demolish the Giants, however there’s a good risk that the sport is way nearer than it must be.
Perhaps the Steelers will reward their followers with one other convincing win although. The final time they received three straight video games by greater than one-score was in 2016. Funnily sufficient, the third workforce they beat was the Giants. Maybe historical past may repeat itself this week.
