Prediction

Pittsburgh enters as heavy favorites, and rightfully so. Pittsburgh is coming off a bye week and gets back key pieces such as Stephon Tuitt and Marcus Gilbert. Despite even being heavy favorites, this game screams the deserved but dreaded title of “trap game” for Pittsburgh. Do the Colts have enough up their sleeve to pull off the upset?

To the dismay of Colts faithful, it’s highly unlikely Indianapolis walks away with a win. On both sides of the ball, Pittsburgh is far and away the better team. The power the Steelers possess through both ground and air will prove to be too much for an already injury riddled Colts defense. Although TY Hilton remains one of the hottest receivers in the league, Indianapolis’ offensive line is borderline terrible enough to not allow Brissett any time at all.

Roethlisberger finds his groove and connects with Brown and Bell for touchdowns, while Bell eclipses 150 all purpose yards. Brissett finds himself under fire for most of the game, failing to hit 200 passing yards and sacked four times.

History tends to repeat itself, and Sunday will prove to be no different.

Final Score: Pittsburgh Steelers: 27, Indianapolis Colts: 13
