NFL Monday Night Football Touchdown Scorers: Giants vs. Steelers (Week 8)
The Steelers continue to play well, and they must feel comfortable with Russell Wilson as the quarterback as he improves the passing game. The Giants have said they won’t make coaching changes, but there will be other significant changes at the end of this season as they come in with the third-worst record in the NFC.
This is a perfect opportunity to highlight players that could find the end zone.

Monday’s Best NFL Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Najee Harris – First Touchdown Scorer (+450)
What takes the pressure off Wilson is the Steelers having a run game they can depend on. Lucky for Pittsburgh, they have two they can depend on.
Harris looks like the better of this backfield tandem of he and Jaylen Warren. Harris has produced back-to-back games of 100+ yards and a touchdown. The Giants have allowed rushing touchdowns as the first touchdowns in back-to-back games, so take the hot hand.
George Pickens – Anytime Touchdown (+150)
The biggest beneficiary of Russell Wilson being the starting quarterback is Pickens, who had his second game with over 110 receiving yards and found the end zone for the first time last week. The Giants’ secondary is dealing with injuries on defense, and they've allowed the fifth-most touchdowns to wide receivers.
Theo Johnson – Anytime Touchdown (+700)
There aren't many weaknesses in the Steelers’ defense: they have a great pass rush and can defend the run and pass.
There's one position that has been flourishing against this defense. Tight ends have the fifth-most catches (38) and second-most touchdowns. Rookie Theo Johnson has not yet found the end zone, but this is an opportunity for him to find pay dirt.
