No, the Week 8 Monday Night Football showdown between the Giants and Steelers doesn’t exactly scream, “offensive shootout.”
But that won’t stop us from tackling the best Giants vs. Steelers Anytime TD bets for this game.
We don’t like how New York’s offense matches up with the Pittsburgh D, but we do have a few ATTD plays on Steelers players who we recommend considering.
Two of our favorite Giants vs. Steelers ATTD bets are Pittsburgh RB Najee Harris and Giants WR Malik Nabers.
Najee Harris Anytime TD (+110) DraftKings
Harris has the shortest Anytime Touchdown odds of any player on either team at most sportsbooks, but he’s still tempting at plus-money. The bruising Steelers back has been heavily featured all season, with 117 carries in just seven games.
Until the last two weeks, though, he had done most of his damage between the 20’s. In fact, Harris carried the football 82 times from Weeks 1-5, but entered Week 6 looking for his first touchdown of the year.
He’s scored one each of the last two weeks, though. That makes him a safe bet to get at least a few valuable goal-line touches tonight in a game in which the Steelers figure to be playing with a lead.

Harris is coming off not only back-to-back games with rushing touchdowns, but also a pair of 100-yard performances as the month of October comes to a close.
The Steelers not featuring Harris and the ground game would come as a surprise at this point. And if the Pitt defense controls its matchup with the Giants offense the way it should, we could see Harris enjoy his heaviest workload of the season.
Obviously, if that comes to fruition, we feel great about this play. But regardless of exactly how this matchup ends up playing out, you can’t go wrong with a back with a role like Harris’s, especially at this price.
Najee Harris Anytime TD (+110): 1 unit
Malik Nabers Anytime TD (+220) FanDuel
Harris is the only player available at anywhere near even odds. That means we’ll need to connect on a big swing to cash any other Giants vs. Steelers Anytime TD bets.
Though we were initially hesitant to bank on anyone on the Giants to find the end zone tonight, Malik Nabers at +220 is impossible to pass up.
The star rookie was held in check by the Eagles last week in a 28-3 loss in his first game back after a concussion sidelined him in Weeks 5 and 6.
Still, Nabers, who was targeted an average of 15 times per game from Weeks 2-4 — and responded with 30 receptions for 320 yards and three TDs — should see a major increase in his involvement tonight after he caught just four passes for 41 yards last Sunday.
Nabers has been held out of the end zone in three of five games to start his career, but we like him to play well against a beatable Steelers DB group.
For as well as the Pittsburgh defense has played as a unit this year, it gave up a number of big plays downfield in Weeks 4 and 5 against Colts receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs and Cowboys WRs CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert.
