The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to square off against the New York Giants on Monday night and currently sit at 5.5-point favorites on the road. Being a road favorite is somewhat unusual in the NFL but this is a pretty heavy advantage for Pittsburgh.

But where to NFL experts stand on the game? We went to the guys at NFL Pick Watch to see what the picks look like. They do a great job aggregating expert picks from all over the internet and putting them all in one place.

According to them 96 percent of the expert picks are leaning to the Steelers. It makes sense. The Steelers finished last season at 8-8 but have Ben Roethlisberger back at quarterback and should be much better. The Giants were 4-12 last season and don’t really look like they are much improved unless Daniel Jones makes a huge leap at quarterback.

Steeler Nation, do you think the Giants can pull off the upset or will the Steelers get off to a 1-0 start? Let us know in the comments.
