Another football-filled Sunday is finally here and the matchups are more important than ever before, as the November 5th trade deadline is around the corner. While the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking throughout the league for potential trade partners, their focus remains ultimately on their Week 8 matchup in front of them—the New York Giants.  Will the Steelers improve to 6-2 on the season, or will New York add another trap game to Pittsburgh’s 2024 resume?  The Steel City hosts the Giants in a Monday Night Football classic, and here are 5 bold predictions for the game on October 28th  at 8:15 PM EST.

George Pickens achieves his second-consecutive 100-yards receiving game against an average DB room:
