The undefeated Colts are a huge favorite to win, but the Steelers look to put up some serious competition. The line is 8½ points.
Indianapolis faces another tough test in its quest to remain unbeaten when it hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers, who expect Ben Roethlisberger to start after the quarterback missed the last three games following knee surgery.
The Colts won their first seven games against opponents who currently have a combined 23-47 record, but faced a daunting schedule this month which included matchups with two-time defending champion New England, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
Indianapolis beat the Patriots 40-21 on Nov. 7, defeated Houston 31-17 on Nov. 13 and then topped the Bengals 45-37 last Sunday to improve to 10-0 on the year.
"We played Jacksonville and St. Louis, who had some wins, but for the most part, we hadn't played teams with winning records," Dungy said. "We had a lot of work ahead of us."
That work continues this week against Pittsburgh as the Colts try to become the 11th team in NFL history and first since the 1998 Denver Broncos to open a season with 11 consecutive victories.
Steelers coach Bill Cowher is 6-0 against Indianapolis and Roethlisberger is 18-1 in his career, including a 9-0 road record.
Roethlisberger will be trying to inject some life into an offense that accomplished very little in last Sunday's 16-13 loss at Baltimore that snapped Pittsburgh's four-game winning streak.
