Cappers Picks provides free *NFL*handicapping tips all season long. <\/p>\n The Pittsburgh Steelers will try to build off an impressive win on Monday night when they take on the scorching Indianapolis Colt who enter having won five straight games.<\/p>\n Indianapolis<\/a> (5-2) at Pittsburgh<\/a> (4-3)<\/strong> Click here to view… NFL ATS Stats<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0*NFL Gambling Insight!*<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Colts have been getting it done on both sides of the ball but make no mistake about it, the Colts\u2019 offense will be the determining factor Sunday.<\/p>\n The Indianapolis Colts are 5-0 SU and ATS in their last five games \u2013 as good a team as there has been the last month. You can thank Andrew Luck for the Colts\u2019 emergence as one of the contenders in the AFC \u2013 he is the top passer in the NFL so far this season averaging 326 yards per game and having thrown 19 TDs already.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n TY Hilton is ascending into that elite category of pass catchers, the tight end duo has done its part and Ahmad Bradshaw has turned into a terrific receiving weapon for Luck. The Steelers pass defense hasn\u2019t been great this year \u2013 expect Luck to dominate.<\/p>\n Indianapolis has steadily improved its running game as the season has worn on and now the Colts are not only potent but they are very well rounded. The Colts are coming off 171 yards rushing against Cincinnati and have rushed for over 125 yards in three of their last five games.<\/p>\n Defensively the Colts have been a very nice surprise. They shut the Bengals out last week allowing just 135 yards and the Colts have averaged a very good three sacks per game.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Indianapolis gets a crack at an offensive line that is having problems protecting Ben Roethlisberger once again \u2013 they could be dominant just like they were last week.<\/p>\n The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off an impressive win Monday night \u2013 but they were held down except for a 24 point outburst in a three minute stretch during the game. Pittsburgh was very opportunistic in the game and took advantage of every opportunity afforded them in the win.<\/p>\n Ben Roethlisberger continues to be the foundation of the Steelers offense shrugging off constant pressure and succeeding despite being under duress every time he touches the ball. Pittsburgh\u2019s offense has shown the ability to score points \u2013 unfortunately the Pittsburgh defense has given up a ton of yards and points so far this season.<\/p>\n You know things aren\u2019t going great when a former coach calls you soft \u2013 that\u2019s just what Bill Cowher did to his former team. It\u2019s true \u2013 no team is afraid to play Pittsburgh anymore \u2013 the intimidation factor is gone particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Teams are throwing at will on the Steelers and having their way in the running game as well \u2013 not exactly what we expect from a Steelers team.<\/p>\n Needless to say Pittsburgh will have to score points on Sunday in order to keep up. LeVeon Bell, who is second in yards from scrimmage and Antonio Brown who is second in the NFL in receiving are fine weapons for Big Beg.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The problem lies with a lack of depth and an unflattering offensive line \u2013 if Ben is running for his life, he can\u2019t expect to get the ball to his playmakers.<\/p>\n \u2022 Over is 7-2 in IND last 9 games overall. The Colts have been a tad careless with the ball \u2013 11 turnovers so far this season. More turnovers is the only way Indy loses this game.<\/p>\n Look for the Colts to march up and down the field as per usual and for their defense to continue to ride a wave of confidence they gained last week against Cincinnati. Indy is just too hot right now to bet against!<\/p>\n\n
