The Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Indianapolis Colts for Week 9 matchup. The Steelers are coming into this matchup with a with a 4-3 record, after initially starting their season 4-1. They’ve dropped the last two games against the Bengals, and the Packers, and their offensive and defensive holes were clear to see, going up against better competition. While they are still above .500 relying on Aaron Rodgers, they are still missing some pieces on offensive and defensive side of the field, before they become true contenders.
Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts, with a 7-1 record this season, are on a four-game winning streak, with their only loss coming against the Los Angeles Rams. Whether it’s the micro-managing by the team’s owner, or their QB and RB having an amazing season, everything is working for the Colts so far. They are also the only team in the NFL win a single loss this season, and with Daniel Jones and their star RB Jonathan Taylor having an astounding season, we do not see this team slowing down anytime soon.
| Recommended Bets | Fanduel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Aaron Rodgers over 0.5 interceptions | -130 | -105 |
| Daniel Jones under 34.5 passing attempts | -128 | -120 |
| Jonathan Taylor anytime TD scorer | -280 | -250 |
Despite the Colts’ lapses in passing defense, they rank 11th in interceptions this season and Rodgers has thrown 5 interceptions this season, in 7 games. Defensive pressure, and Rodgers’ decision making to make big plays, especially if they’re down, could lead to Rodgers going over 0.5 INTs in this game.
We expect Daniel Jones to attempt less than 34.5 passes, as he’s not had a single game so far where he’s attempted over 34 passes this season. The Colts have a balanced attack of passing and running through Jonathan Taylor, which relieves pressure off of Jones to make plays. The Steelers struggle against the pass and the rush, which gives the Colts the versatility to use either of the weapons, making this a safe bet.
Jonathan Taylor has been on a tear lately, scoring 9 TDs in four games. He’s having an amazing season and looking at the Steelers’ weak run and scoring defense, 18th and 19th respectively, Taylor should be able to get a TD.
We expect the Colts to beat the Steelers because of the consistency and the rhythm that the Colts are currently on, beating most teams with ease. While the Steelers can make explosive plays at times, ultimately their defense, especially against the pass, if what may keep them from winning the game. Expect a high scoring battle between the two teams.
Prediction: Colts win the game 28-24
