Colts vs. Steelers betting odds (via DraftKings) Colts vs. Steelers money line:Colts +130, Steelers -155Colts vs. Steelers over/under:43.5 (Over -108, Under -112)Colts vs. Steelers spread: Steelers -3Colts vs. Steelers betting previewThis battle of Midwest middleweights poses an interesting question -- would you rather have a game-warping offensive star or a decent defense?Option No. 1 gives you the Colts, who need running back Jonathan Taylor to lead the way with top wideout Alec Pierce on the shelf. Taylor entered Week 5 fifth in rushing yards and with six scores on the ground. He's still the bread and butter of the Indy offense, ensuring Daniel Jones isn't wholly relied upon to win games with his arm. Option No. 2 gives you the Steelers, who have been roughly average in yards allowed per game -- a claim that can't be made by the Colts, who have given up an unsightly 392.3 yards per game, the second most in the league. While Pittsburgh doesn't have a superstar playmaker on offense, the Steelers can get stops and move the ball. Aaron Rodgers is far from an MVP candidate these days, but he can still throw the ball a bit. While this shouldn't exactly be a shootout, depending on your definition of the term, it could still turn into a game where the last team to score wins.

We know Indianapolis should be good for 20+ points, even without Pierce. That all makes this Over quite achievable. The SportsLine model has the Over hitting at a 64% rate.
