The Colts will play a tough Steelers team on Sunday. There are three main matchups that will be key in this one.

The Colts play in Pittsburgh at 1pm on Sunday. In that game, it will be cool outside, but shouldn’t be too windy. Hopefully the weather won’t affect this game too much. It should just be two teams going against each other, and the best team will win.

These two teams are both coming off wins. Both are playing better than they did in the past, especially Pittsburgh. Neither team is fully healthy for this game either. The Steelers could be down to their third string running back, and the Colts could be missing T.Y. Hilton.

If that is the case, both teams will have to change their gameplan to adjust for those losses. The Colts would be more affected by the loss of Hilton than the Steelers would about James Conner. But that just makes these certain matchups that much more important.

There are three key matchups that I will be keeping my eyes on in this one. They will determine the winner of the game. Vegas has the Colts as a 1 point favorite, so it’s pretty much a pick em’. These matchups are going to be the difference in the game.

The first of these matchups has to deal with the Pittsburgh offensive line and if the Colts can get pressure on Mason Rudolph.
