Matchup Analysis
Taylor is still Indianapolis’s clearest scoring route
Jonathan Taylor ran 20 times for 95 yards and two touchdowns in the Colts’ 30-13 win over Washington, reinforcing his recent goal-line production as a key matchup for Pittsburgh.
SourceJones needs to protect the ball
Daniel Jones threw for 143 yards and had one interception against Washington; the Colts have made clear he remains their guy despite the turnovers. Pittsburgh may look to exploit those mistakes with its pass rush.
SourcePittsburgh could be short-handed on defense
Pittsburgh could be short-handed on defense after recent injuries, with absences potentially lasting multiple weeks and affecting its options against Indianapolis’s offense.
SourceRodgers showed both ceiling and risk in Cleveland
Aaron Rodgers threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns but also had two interceptions in Pittsburgh’s loss, including one on the final play. He said afterward that it was not Pittsburgh’s cleanest game and that he missed throws he usually hits.
SourcePick Ideas
Steelers moneyline
Pittsburgh is available around -135 and remains a reasonable home-win lean, but recent defensive injuries could leave it short-handed for multiple weeks; check final injury news before betting.
Under 44.5 points
The total is around 44.5; the under is a cautious lean if you expect a close game without sustained scoring runs. Rodgers recently took a sack on third and fifteen that pushed Pittsburgh out of field-goal range; compare prices because totals vary across books.
