What will decide the NY Giants vs Steelers game? We take a look at potential key factors that will weigh the most.

Week 1 is finally upon us, NY Giants football is back, and 2020 is finally trending upward for us all. Unfortunately for us Big Blue fans, that upward trend might not last for too long. The Giants kick off their NFL schedule against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football as heavy home underdogs.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for being cautiously optimistic about the Giants potential this season but this Steelers matchup is a very ugly matchup for Big Blue. The Steelers appear to be strongest where the Giants appear weakest.

Rather than focusing solely on the strengths or weaknesses of either team, I plan on looking at specific matchups or concepts that will likely be the deciding factors in every NY Giants game during the 2020-21 NFL Season.
