Bill Speros writes: “Indiana Jones brings the smash hit sequel of the season to Pittsburgh. The 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS Colts own the best record in the NFL in both categories. (They’re tied with New England at 6-2 ATS). The Steelers’ secondary got wrecked by the Packers in a 35-25 loss. The Colts can beat Mike Tomlin’s shell of a defense. He can stack up against Jonathan Taylor or try to take away the middle and deep ball. It won’t matter. Aaron Rodgers may be ready to tap out after Sunday night’s embarrassment against his former team.”

Matt Johnson writes: “This one could get ugly for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have one of the league’s worst defenses and are very poorly equipped to handle an Indianapolis Colts offense that boasts an elite rushing attack and is absolutely lethal with Daniel Jones operating the play-action. Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf might hit a deep shot or two on the Colts’ secondary, but Indianapolis should have another win by double-digit points.”
