The Pittsburgh Steelers got past the high powered Cincinnati Bengals offense, now they'll have to pull out all the stops again this week versus the high-flying Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts hosted the Steelers during week 12 of the regular season and rolled to a 26-7 victory as an 8-point favorite.
The Colts (9-7 ATS) opened as 8.5-point favorites and they host a Steelers team that has covered 10 of their 17 games this season. The total opened at 46.5.
Bill Cowher's troops went to Cincinnati last game and came away with a 31-17 win, a game that went over 44. Oddsmakers had them as 2-point favorites in that one.
The Colts defeated Arizona 17-13 as 8-point favorites during the final week of the regular season. That contest went under the closing total.
This game is likely to come down to the Colts's execution on offence. They rank 2nd in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 27.4 PPG average against the Steelers's #4-rated defensive unit.
