Indianapolis Colts

The Colts come to the steel town week 16 for a frigid winter game. The Steelers are favored by 2.5 points at home against the new-look Colts.

Indianapolis is going to have to shake off there own rust when the season starts with a new quarterback. Phillip Rivers is likely going to pick up the offense pretty fast but he is still going to be getting his timing together with his receivers on the fly as the season goes. Using his experience the learning gap will be easy to close but it will still take time.

The Colts will likely be playing their best football late in the season due to the new face under center. This is why the Steelers could slip up if they do not treat the game as if it is a playoff atmosphere.

The battle upfront is going to be crucial with the loss of Javon Hargrave to help with this Indy offensive line. Cam Heyward had a highlight reel type game against Quenton Nelson and Anthony Castonzo last season. They will need him and Stephon Tuitt to be on the field for this possible playoff-clinching game.

Not all of these games are likely to go down as losses but these are all formidable opponents that could come and catch the Steelers on their heels.
