Oddsmakers currently have the Colts listed as 1½-point favorites versus the Steelers, while the game’s total is sitting at 48.
Ben Roethlisberger will vie for his 100th regular-season win in 150 games as a starter, but the task will be tough against Indianapolis’ fifth-ranked pass defense. Aside from Brown, Pittsburgh’s wideouts have been inconsistent at best as Lance Moore’s touchdown reception came on just one of two targets last week and Markus Wheaton played a season-low 31 snaps. Martavis Bryant, however, reeled in a 35-yard touchdown pass in his NFL debut.
The Steelers were a 30-23 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Texans. They covered the -3-point spread as favorites, while the total score (53) made winners of OVER bettors.
Team record: 4-3 SU,3-4 ATS
Pittsburgh is 10-5 ATS in its last 15 games
Pittsburgh is 7-3 SU in its last 10 games
The total has gone OVER in 8 of Pittsburgh’s last 12 games
Pittsburgh is 6-3 ATS in its last 9 games at home
While Luck leads the league with 2,331 yards and shares top honors with Denver’s Manning in touchdowns (19), T.Y. Hilton has proven to be a familiar target with 47 receptions and 711 yards. Ahmad Bradshaw has recorded six of his seven touchdowns in the passing game while fellow running back Trent Richardson rolled up 118 total yards on 18 touches last week. Richardson is dealing with a nagging hamstring injury, although he expects to play on Sunday.
Indianapolis was a 27-0 winner in its last match at home against the Bengals. They covered the -3-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 27 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.
