Colts vs Steelers Predictions

[MikChiken]

I think we lose this game by 2 or less touchdowns. Still a loss, but not a blow out. 

If we can get a run game going and keep Ben from throwing 7 TDs that would be great.

What do you think?

[Dingus McGirt]

Colts win.

[Jason_]

Colts lose... By a fairly large margin 

[The Fish]

One day our squad isn't going to suck and maybe they'll be able to beat teams like the Steelers (and Patriots) again.

That'll be cool, I suppose.

 

Not this week. Something like Pitt 35, Indy 10

 

[pgt_rob]

38-9 Steelers

[runthepost]

28 to 7 or we get shutout again

[NorthernBlue]

Colts will move the ball around I think, but not enough to keep up with the potent steeler offense.

 

Gotta bottle up Bell to have an opportunity to win.

 

Pittsburgh 38 - 23 Indianapolis 

[Defjamz26]

I think if Vontae and Wilson are out again it’ll be a long day. Smith-Schuster is coming on and Brown is always a threat. I think the Colts come back down to earth after beating a Deshaun Watson-less Texans and lose 35-13.

 

Also if the Colts get 40 dropped on them for the 3rd time this season, I predict someone loses their job. 

[krunk]

Hows that Pitt secondary this year? I haven't looked but last year they were pretty bad. Jacoby might be able to get some drives going. Also think we've been playing more disciplined football on defense the last two games since we went with more man coverage , less zones and increased the blitzing. Haven't been getting beat deep as much and passes have been contested.

[BR-549]

Definitely two different levels of play. Colts are capable of playing above their talent level at times, however.  I don't think they can run against us.  At least not like they have been able to in the past.

 

Pitt is good, but not great this year so I think we play with an attitude and at least keep it close.  Minimizing mistakes will define how close.  As in no pick-6 scores while having a good drive going... those are painful.  Holding penalties offsetting positive plays.  

 

Morrison plays on the edge of getting a personal foul every single play.  Cant let things like that happen.  

 

I know those are every week keys, but they are not as devastating against the Browns as they will be Pitt.  

 

Minimal penalties and mistakes plus some help from Ben:    24-18 Pitt

"Bonehead" plays, second half collapse and lack of coaching (game plan/ adjustments)     Pitt 30+, Indy 3

Yeah I predict a big day for Brown and even Smith-Schuster too. I think we throw our young secondary in the fire and see what they can do. Brown will probably come away with 2 TD's on us anyway. I don't think anyone gets canned yet.

[John Waylon]

Ah geez. Pagano has a history of getting his butt handed to him by the Steelers. 

 

The big plays our secondary gives up plays right into their hands. It could be ugly. 

[lollygagger8]

0/0 3rd down stats for Pittsburgh. 

 

They'll be too busy getting 1st downs on 1st down. 

[Aluckiswolverine]

[IinD]

They're going to throw at will on us.

 

As long as they don't sustain any huge injuries in practice this is an easy win for them.

 

We'll probably score a little, but it won't mean much.

 

38-20.

Number 2 in pass defense and number 5 overall.

So there's little to no hope??

[JColts72]

I cannot recall last time Colts beat the Steelers as they always kick our rear.

[indy1888]

Colts will lose by at least 3 scores in what will basically feel like a home game for the Steelers.

[chad72]

Steelers 27 Colts 17 or something close to that, we will play them closer than we have before.

[BullsColtsFan1]

My heart says Colts 28 Steelers 27.  My gut says Steelers 36 Colts 20. 

[Deadpool]

think we end up losing this game 35-17

[HarryTheCat]

I predict that most of the team will live through the experience. 

[lance_m8]

I predict that one of the two teams will win and the other will lose.

[a06cc]

Colts win

56-13 steelers.

[2006Coltsbestever]

24-23 Colts just to make the people very upset that want us to lose for a higher Draft pick . Brissett to TY as time expires! 

[Coltsman1788]

Pittsburgh 40 Colts 13

[coltsva]

Last year the Colts played them tough, but several drives ended with the Steelers stopping us (or Tolzien screwing up) near the goal line. 

 

I expect it to be a close game. 

[krunk]

If we can get this offense to put up 21 plus we might have a chance. If they struggle and sputter then it wont turn out well. Defense has played better but its not good enough to withstand no production from the offense.

[rockywoj]

I am torn between the typical Steelers blowout versus Colts keeping it close.   Common denominator = Colts lose.  Let’s say, ummmmmmm, 27-17, Pitt.

[RockThatBlue]

Pittsburgh 37 Colts 17.

 

Don't see any reason why Big Ben won't rip our secondary to pieces again.

Sadly the Colts have always had a hard time beating Pittsburgh for as long as I can remember. Even the Manning years they gave us trouble. Big Ben almost never loses to us for whatever reason, even before Pagano was here.

[Rackeen305]

Prediction: It might get ugly. Real ugly. fast. The Steelers defense has always been a tough group. BTW they have this OLB James Harrison, Who can pick apart Offensive linemen. It might be real ugly for the us. jbh.

[2006Coltsbestever]

If there was a ever a game Brissett can show he is a legit starter in this league, this is it.

James Harrison is like 100 years old and farting dust

So is Adam Vinatieri.

Don't get me wrong, Harrison is a bad man but he isn't what he was 5 years ago. Vinny is a Kicker and just relies on his leg, he may play until he's 50. He doesn't take the hits some of the older guys take.

[Stephen]

This game could go either way if the colts come to play but if they start off slow and fail to get pressure on big ben it could get ugly fast

[gacoop1]

This time the other team will win.  Colts took advantage of a DeShaunless Texans.
