Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season as a Head Coach. I’m only saying that because the Steelers are 3-7 and we can only beat that somewhat meaningless stat into the ground for about two more weeks. The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the worst teams in football, even worse than the 4-6 Indianapolis Colts who have already fired their Head Coach and gone 1-1 with Jeff Saturday running things.

The Colts opened as 3 point favorites, but the line has moved a half point in the direction of Pittsburgh, which is a very crucial move no longer getting the field goal. 

Steelers vs. Colts Prediction and Pick

Kenny Pickett looked a little better last week against the Bengals. He threw a nice touchdown pass to George Pickens in the 37-30 loss at home. Those two are the most important pieces of the Steelers offense to see improvement from for the rest of the season. Oh, and some improvement from the most expensive defense in the NFL would be nice too. The Steelers are 28th in total defense and got shredded last week even with TJ Watt back. Pittsburgh has the second worst pass defense in the NFL, so the Colts might want to put more on Matt Ryan’s shoulders on Monday night. 

Saturday has come in and rededicated this team to running the ball with Jonathan Taylor. Stopping the run is the strong suit of the Steelers defense that only allows 4.0 yards per carry. This could be a good spot for the Steelers D. Matt Ryan has been sacked 29 times and now one of the worst offensive lines in the league will have to try and stop TJ Watt. 

This one could be ugly and I don’t trust the Steelers to win against any team right now. Let’s just take the under and enjoy a Monday Night rock fight. 

Pick: Under 39.5 (-110)
