The Giants lost to Pittsburgh 20-12 last week, and the momentum turned on a fumbled punt return in the final minutes of the first half. The Steelers then recovered and scored on a 28-yard pass from Josh Dobbs to Cobi Hamilton on the very next play. Geno Smith was 10 of 16 for 114 yards, but threw a costly interception that set up a field goal for the Steelers. Josh Johnson was 5 of 10 for 31 yards and Davis Webb finished 8 of 16 for 67 yards. Cleveland showed some life in a 20-14 win over the Saints with 312 net yards, and DeShone Kizer threw a 45-yard touchdown to Jordan Payton with under two minutes for the Browns. Kizer was 11 of 18 for 184 yards, Brock Osweiler was 6 of 14 for 42 yards, and Cody Kessler finished 5 of 10 for 47 yards. Coach Ben McAdoo is 2-3 straight up in preseason for the Giants while Hue Jackson is only 1-8 in exhibition play with the Raiders and Browns. Cleveland's win over the Saints was the 10th preseason loss in a row for New Orleans before its win on Sunday over the Chargers. New York is a playoff contender while the Browns are still in a rebuilding stage with not a lot of depth, espeically at the quarterback position where Osweiler was a last resort pickup. Play the Giants on the moneyline.
