The under is 5-2 in Pittsburgh’s last 7 Monday games, and the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games following an ATS loss. Indianapolis is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Week 12 games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a loss. The under is 14-2 in Indianapolis’ last 16 games, and the under is 6-1 in their last 7 home games. The home team is 6-1 ATS in these two team's last 7 head-to-head meetings.
These two teams have had disappointing starts to their seasons, but will look to get a big win on Monday Night Football. Pittsburgh’s defense has struggled this season and has allowed 35 points or more in two of their last three games. Indianapolis has a solid defense, but their offense has only averaged 15 points per game. This matchup is pretty even, but the home team has done great against the spread in this series. I like the Colts here.
