Carolina has averaged 27 points per game in its last three games.

THREE REASONS TO LIKE THE STEELERS-GIANTS OVER (411/2)

In their last three games, both teams have averaged 29 points per game.

In road games, the Giants have allowed 24 points per game.

With both teams having strong run defenses, quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning will be in the forefront, and the passing games should dominate.
