Steelers vs Colts Prediction & Pick

The Steelers and the Colts line up as very similar teams this year. On offense, they both roster an elite running back and tend to focus on establishing a ground game early on. On defense, they both rely on a veteran defensive line to keep opposing quarterbacks uncomfortable in the pocket all day long.

One area Pittsburgh has a leg up on the Colts is at head coach. Mike Tomlin has guided his squad to seven straight wins over Indianapolis, while Jeff Saturday is still adjusting to coaching in the NFL. The Colts have also lost nine of their last 10 games against an NFC North opponent. It's been a nightmare.

This is going to be a grueling and hard-fought game, but the Steelers always shine as underdogs.

Final Score Prediction: Steelers: 20 | Colts: 17

Steelers vs Colts Best Bet

Don't be surprised if the defensive line of the Steelers feasts on Monday night. The return of TJ Watt combined with the dependability of Cameron Heyward has transformed this group into one of the scariest in the NFL. The Colts have also allowed a sack on 8.9% of their QB dropbacks (No. 27 in NFL).

Veteran Matt Ryan cannot scramble out of the pocket with ease at 37 years of age. That is going to cost the Colts precious yards in this one. Overall, Pittsburgh is 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last six games against Indianapolis. The Colts are a 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite, too.

Bet: Pittsburgh Steelers +2.5 (-105)
