Pittsburgh Steelers @ Indianapolis Colts Sunday Night Football Free Pick

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Indianapolis Colts Sunday Night Football Free Pick: If this line was 20, I’d have a hard time taking the Colts. I don’t know why, but not having Peyton Manning yelling off line calls has put the entire Colts team in a state of blah. It hasn’t looked good. Maybe they snap out of it, sure, but against a very tough Pittsburgh Steelers team that is coming off a shutout against a team just a little more challenged than Indianapolis, I think it’s hard to believe the Colts have a chance.

Defensively, the Steelers could just spend the majority of the day running the football and end up with a pretty good chance to hold the ball most of the day, score some touchdowns, and keep the Colts out of the end zone.
I know everyone had their ideas that Kerry Collins was going to come in and somehow keep the Cotls afloat while Peyton got neck rubs 7 times a day for 5 weeks, but I’m not so sure they Colts won’t come out of this Peyton coma with a handful of losses. This early part of the season really speaks a lot about Peyton and his ability – he sure changes the Colts team, doesn’t he?

The Steelers haven’t really gotten after it yet, playing tentative and not having that offensive risk factor that has made them so good in the past. But if they get up early in Indy, it could be a good day to own Steelers in fantasy.

I expect a 34-13 score – the Steelers are that much better than Indy sans Peyton.
