30 - 13. Their defensive front overwhelms our inexperienced OL, and except for a few plays, bottles up Barkley. Jones has little time to throw. On offense, they exploit our equally inexperienced secondary, where wide open WRs result from missed communications. We get to Ben a few times, but need to blitz to do so, and it's not enough.
I'll be beside myself with glee if we are respecible
Saquon with an unreal highlight play to score or lead to a TD.
Jones with a dime in the intermediate/deep game.
LFG!!!!
I can't remember last time I was this pumped for an opener. The fact that I always figured we were going to lose and to Cowboys on top of that always soured on my outlooks on opening night. With how the cards fell yesterday Giants are playing with house money, and they know it too. These guys all watched these games yesterday too. Shock the world tonight.
and think very little of the Giants. I hope the offensive line is effective. I don't think much of Big Ben, coming off injury and a long layoff. I think we will depend on Saquan and I think we will be competitive.
Giants get embarrassed. DJ gets sacked 5 times, has 2 picks and 2 fumbles, leading to a week of bust chatter. At least one starting OL gets injured. Secondary gets torched. Laugher by halftime.
We score more than 16 points and not allow 30+ points, that’s the real test we suck on national TV. All the hype about Barkley and our receivers we shall see.
Pitt 28 - NYG 17 (with NYG getting a late garbage-time to TD to make it even that close).
Steeler's D is very good; and even allowing for Big Ben being rusty it still seems to me that NYG can't rush the passer and can't cover. So Pitt will be able to score, and NYG won't be able to keep up.
On the bright side, I think Barkley and Jones will play well, and that we'll have pretty good success stopping the run. Maybe even some good special teams play. But it won't be nearly enough to win this one.
Two constants preached by Judge. We have enough players to make plays on both sides.
Spirited, tough and prepared team with a big surprise.

They will have bumps in the season but tonight they get after a old QB by shutting the run game and heavy blitz covering the short stuff. Offense sees Barkley with 200 yards total offense and a balanced offense with a couple deep strikes.
Steelers averaged 17.3 ppg on defense after they added Fitzpatrick and that's with a terrible offense. We're lucky to score at all, this is going to be a blood bath.
I'm with Joey here. We get beat up a bit. I actually think we only score 10. 31-10 Steelers

Jones 3 TDs.
Slayton 2TDs
Defense 3 picks, 3 sacks
Let's Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Jones is going to have a tough night
just have to hope the Pitt Offense has an equally tough night and Ben gets knocked out somehow
Jones with a dime in the intermediate/deep game.

Saquon 187 combined yards and 3 TDs. Golden Tate 0 catches for 0 yards.
Bradberry picks off Ben late to seal the win.
Barkley - 200 total yards, 2 rushing TDs, 1 Receiving TD
Jones - 65% completions, 305 yds
Shepard - 10 catches for 100 yds
The only way Jints win is to strip-sack Ben and cause multiple turnovers.
Defense will need to score or set up easy scores multiple times
Danny Dimes will need to not turn ball over against one of the best Defenses in the league.
Prediction - Jints win 9-6 in a field goal kicking contest after strip sacking Big Ben three times
Giants 23 -21

NY 19
Pitt 16
Game of field goals.
You understand, “no chance” is an unusual take, given it s the NFL,
.......right?
I'm expecting a low-scoring, high-turnover, messy week 1 game.
DJ8 two fumbles and two picks and two TDs
LW with 2 sacks
Jones gets sacks 5 times or more, at least one of which resulting in a fumble. 31-6, Steelers.
Hey, if no money's on the line, I might as well dream big!

NYG 13
TJ Watt with 2 sacks on Thomas and a forced fumble (DJ8)
Barkley no reaction in the run game
Daniel Jones 1 TD, 2 INTS and the one fumble lost.
Pretty forgettable first game for Joe Judge, unfortunately.
