Steelers Betting Preview
Pittsburgh scored the most points they’d scored in three weeks and still lost to New England 21-18 on Thursday Night Football. Now 18 points is still not great, but compared to the 10, 16 and 10 points from the three games prior, it was some measure of improvement. They also did so with backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky in place of the injured Kenny Pickett.
The Steelers had been getting by on their defense, ranked 7th in PPG allowed. carrying their offense, 27th in PPG scored. But in Week 14 the defense struggled against the league’s lowest scoring team New England (13 PPG).

The Patriots had scored a combined 13 points in their three previous games but finally found success with backup Bailey Zappe throwing for 240 yards and three touchdowns.
Trubisky produced little for the Steelers throwing for only 190 yards while their running game was completely nullified with Trubisky leading all rushers with a mere 30 yards.
Pittsburgh is now just 1-3 ATS in their last four, but are 7-6 ATS overall this season.
Colts Betting Preview
Indy went into Cincinnati in Week 14 riding a four-game winning streak but hit a wall in losing 34-14.
The Colts offense which averages 24.2 PPG (8th) and had been averaging 26.6 PPG in their six games heading into Week 14 struggled versus a usually weak Bengals defense that gives up 22.1 PPG (19th). Gardner Minshew threw for just 240 yards to go with one touchdown and one interception and the Colts’ running game was non-existent with Zach Moss leading the team with 28 yards. That could be a concern again this week with Jonathan Taylor still out injured.

Michael Pittman still put up a 95-yard performance, but was held out of the endzone. He fell just shy of hitting the 100-yard mark in receiving yards for the third-straight game but did record at least eight receptions for the sixth-straight game. He’s always worth a look in the Steelers vs Colts props.
The Bengals jumped out to a 14-0 lead last week, but Indy tied the game at 14 heading into the half, only to see Cincy dominate the second half and outscore the Colts 20-0. The Colts defense allowed rookie quarterback Jake Browning to throw for 275 yards and two touchdowns in the game.
The Colts own one of the better ATS records overall at 8-5 and are 4-1 ATS in their past five.
