Turkey Day NFL Game #3 Steelers/Colts
(NFL) Pittsburgh vs. Indianapolis,
Total: 47.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
Total: 47.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
Play: Over
Rating: 8*
The big story here is obviously that Colts' QB Andrew Luck is highly unlikely to play as he's in concussion protocol following Sunday's 24-17 win against Tennessee. I still think we'll see this game fly over the total.
Pittsburgh and Ben Roethlisberger might cover the number themselves coming up against a banged up Colts' secondary. It's well worth noting that Big Ben has passed for 886 yards, 10 touchdowns and no interceptions in the last two meetings with the Colts who are giving up a NFL worst 284.5 yards per game against the pass this season. Le'Veon Bell rushed for 146 yards and a score as the Steelers handed the Browns to their 11th straight loss on Sunday, and Indy is among the worst teams to defend the rush too.
The Steelers had lost four straight games prior to that victory against the Browns though, giving up an average of 28.25 points per game, so perhaps there's hope for Scott Tolzien to get something done under center for Indianapolis. We should also not forget their threat on the ground with Frank Gore (642 yards, four touchdowns) leading the way.
Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings, and we shouldn't need any Luck to see another game go over the posted total.
