Summary:
Indianapolis is (3-2) in their last five games while Pittsburgh is just (1-4). Many of Pittsburgh’s troubles have to do with the health of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who performed brilliantly in last week’s win over Cleveland. Indianapolis can score with anyone and quarterback Andrew Luck should definitely be in the MVP conversation for his play thus far. Speaking of Luck he is in concussion protocol and may not get cleared for this game. The Colts are very weak on defense and could be exposed by a Steelers offense that finally has all of their weapons healthy. The Colts achilles heel this season has been inopportune turnovers that have cost them points. I expect both teams to put up points so I’d take the over on 49. Pittsburgh takes care of the ball and should be able to win this game on the road. If Luck doesn’t play it will be a Steelers blowout.
