5*
(NFL) Pittsburgh vs. NY Giants,
Point Spread: -3.50 | -110.00 NY Giants (Home)
Result: Loss
The NY Giants always like to start the pre-season with a winnning attitude. That begins tonight at home against the Steelers. While Eli Manning will sit out tonight, there is something to be said about the battle between Josh Johnson and Geno Smith for the backup position. While Johnson has the inside track, Smith will be looking to prove he is up for the job after getting injured last year with the New York Jets. I also read the offensive line is extremely improved, and will be a strong point for this team this season. This unit will be a focal point, whether it is protecting Johnson or Smith. Look for the Giants to air things out and the passing game to lead the way. I like the NYG by 10-13 pts.
