New York is starting over again and that can't be bad after the Giants suffered through a 4-12 season in 2019. One holdover is quarterback Daniel Jones, who completed almost 62-percent of his passes last season for 3,027 yards and 24 touchdowns. However, Jones must improve on his ball protection as he threw 12 interceptions and lost 11 fumbles. Nevertheless, it does give new coach Joe Judge and the Giants something to build on. Another big plus is the new offensive coordinator Jason Garrett who, of course, coached the Cowboys for nine and-a-half years. Another holdover is running back Saquon Barkley, who missed three games last year and still gained 1,003 yards with six touchdowns. And the defense has nowhere to go but up after the last two seasons, but there is a lot of potential and young talent on the defensive side. Bruised and battered Ben Roethlisberger is back again for Pittsburgh after missing all but two games in 2019. Roethlisberger is 38 years old and it's questionable how long he can perform even close to his previous level. The Steelers are 4-9-1 ATS their last 14 games as favorites, including 2-5-1 ATS on the road. They are also 2-7 ATS in Week 1. Take the points with the New York Giants.
