Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Indianapolis Colts: Betting Odds

Spread: Indianapolis -1.5, Over/under: 42.5 points, Pittsburgh +110 | Indianapolis -130

Last time we saw the Steelers, they were being carved up by Bailey Zappe en route to a tough loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday. Pittsburgh is now 7-6 on the season and will once again be trotting out QB Mitch Trubisky in place of the injured Kenny Pickett.

The Steelers still have a strong defense and have playmakers throughout on offense, but Trubisky caps their abilities a tad here.

On the other side is an Indianapolis Colts team out-performing expectations at 7-6 with Gardner Minshew at quarterback. The Colts did just get blown out by the Cincinnati Bengals and Jake Browning, and a big reason why was the run defense, which is graduating into one of the worst units in football. The Colts are now allowing the fifth-most yards per game to RBs, and DVOA grades their run defense as the seventh-worst in football.

Pittsburgh is 7-6 ATS, while Indianapolis is 8-5, one of the best betting records in the NFL. The Colts are 9-4 to the over, tops in the NFL, and the Steelers are 10-3 to the under. That'll be the largest disparity of the weekend in terms of records towards the total this season.
