![]() The best matchup this Sunday for NFL betting is definitely on FOX at 4:15pm EST as the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-1) host the New York Giants (5-1). Odds makers have the Steelers -3 point favorites at home against the Giants in NFL Week 8 odds with a total of 42. The Giants are defending Super Bowl champs and have looked the part this season while the Steelers look to be one of the top teams in the AFC. Both quarterbacks, New York’s Eli Manning and Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger have led their teams to Super Bowl titles and are looking to do so again this season. "There's always that little thing inside of you that wants to be the best, so I've got to get another Super Bowl before he does," Roethlisberger said. The Steelers have relied greatly on their defense this season which is first in the NFL in total defense and second in points allowed. The Pittsburgh offense is efficient enough as well with Roethlisberger clicking most of the time. The Steelers could also get a boost from the return of Willie Parker who may return for this game. The Steelers look to be getting healthy as it is possible that fullback Carey Davis and nose tackle Casey Hampton might also play on Sunday. The Giants have been relying more on their offense in their victories. New York is second in the NFL in total offense and first in rushing. The NFL odds matchup on Sunday between their ground attack and Pittsburgh’s run defense should be interesting to watch. Pittsburgh and New York last played in 2004 and the Steelers came away with the victory. The teams have split their last four meetings overall.
