Best Colts vs. Steelers Player Props & TD Picks for NFL Week 9

My best Colts vs. Steelers player props focus on Daniel Jones, Pat Freiermuth, and Michael Pittman ahead of Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET (CBS) game at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. The Colts the 3.5-point favorites on the road as we make our NFL predictions for Week 9.

The Steelers field the league's worst pass defense, which is why I love Jones and Pittman in this matchup. And for as good as the 7-1 Colts have been, tight ends have been problematic for their defense, setting up a nice opportunity for Freiermuth.

💰 Best Colts vs. Steelers player props

⬆️ Daniel Jones player prop: Over 251.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Steelers are allowing a league-high 273.3 passing yards per game, nearly 15 more yards than any other team. 

Daniel Jones enters this game after throwing for at least 272 yards in back-to-back games. He’s topped 251.5 passing yards in five of his eight contests, and the signal-caller has yet to throw for fewer than 212 yards in a game this season. The only reason this isn’t a five-star play is that the Colts have won five multiple-score games. If they get up early, the team may lean on Jonathan Taylor.

FanDuel’s price of -114 implies a 53.27% chance that Jones hits this Over. A $10 bet would profit $8.77.

⬆️ Pat Freiermuth player prop: Over 2.5 receptions (+134) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Colts have been struggling against the pass while allowing 252.0 yards per game. They’ve also been particularly bad against tight ends, allowing 50 receptions (four-most) and 579 yards (third-most) to the position.

Pat Freiermuth has logged more than 13 yards just once in his last five games, but he’s caught at least three passes in four of his seven contests this season. Considering he’s caught three-plus passes in consecutive games entering this excellent matchup, it’s a bit shocking to see the price for his Over set at +134 through DraftKings. 

The price implies a 42.74% chance that Freiermuth hits this Over. A $10 wager would profit $13.40.

6️⃣ Best Colts vs. Steelers touchdown scorer bet

🔥 Michael Pittman TD pick: Score a touchdown (+170) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pittman has scored in back-to-back games and six of his eight contests overall this season. He leads the Colts in both receptions and targets, and the pass-catcher is second on the team in receiving yards entering this favorable matchup against the league’s worst pass defense.

While the Colts have recorded 18 rushing touchdowns to just 13 passing touchdowns, the Steelers’ rush defense is hard to score on right now. The unit has allowed just five rushing touchdowns this season, while the team's pass defense has given up 13.

FanDuel’s price implies that Pittman is getting a 37.04% chance of scoring. A $10 bet would profit $17.
