The Colts were getting a sick 90% of the betting action in this game. The line opened at Indianapolis -3. The bookmakers do have a strong opinion on this game otherwise we’d see the number moving much higher to gain action on the Steelers.
This is only the 8th time in head coach Mike Tomlin’ tenure in Pittsburgh that the Steelers were coming in as a home underdog.
As a favorite, the Colts have gone 15-5 Against The Spread over the past three seasons.
Some of the keys to betting the Colts-Steelers game may lie in the fantasy outlook for both teams top players.
The best of the fantasy bunch may very well be Pittsburgh’s Le'Veon Bell. He’s averaging 134 total yards per game and it remains to be seen whether the Colts defense can stop him.
The Colts starting quarterback Andrew Luck has thrown for more than 300 yards in his last five games. This week he faces a Steelers defense allowing 7.4 yards per pass attempt (21st in NFL).
The Colts defensive numbers (allowing two passing scores in their last four games) could be attributed to the poor offensives they have faced. That might bode well for Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. Likewise, the Colts defense is yet to face the league leader in receiving yards, Antonio Brown. The wide receiver hasn't dipped below 84 yards.
Bottom line, Pittsburgh has what it takes to keep the Colts in check for Sunday’s late afternoon game and the bookies know this.
