The over is 7-3 in Colts last 10 games overall. The under is 5-1-1 in Steelers last 7 games overall. The Colts are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Pittsburgh and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
The Indianapolis Colts have played some of their best football on the road this season and have the defense to give a struggling Steelers offense even more fits. The Pittsburgh Steelers went from being 11-0 on the season to losing three straight games, two of those contests coming against losing clubs. Based on the current form of these teams, the Colts should be favored. However, this line has moved a ton since coming out, and we're now getting the Steelers as a home dog. While they're struggling now and not as good as their record indicates, the Steelers have lost just two home games since October 13 of last year. The Pittsburgh Steelers are still very well coached and have the talent to turn things around. I'll take the home dog in this spot, fading the betting public.
