Las Vegas - Does anyone really care about the Colts (4-6-1) matching up against the Steelers (3-7)? Think I'll be watching the semi-finals of the Great British Baking Show. However, there might be a few bucks on the table to grab. Indy has perked up under new head man Jeff Saturday, beating the Raiders 25-20 and taking the Eagles to the wire before losing 17-16. One of the reasons for the uptick is Matt Ryan. After getting benched by Frank Reich, Ryan was put back under center by Saturday, and the results have been solid. Matty Ice has not turned the ball over in either game, and is getting some much needed balance from RB Jonathan Taylor (231 yards the last two). And Pitt's defense is looking UGLIER than any other in the NFL, stumbling in at 31st against the pass. Rookie QB Kenny Pickett will try and build on a nice effort last week against the Bengals, but the Colts D is ranked 4th in the league in total yards allowed, so it might be a tough go. Gimme the Horseshoes for the money, but just a light toss.
