Here are the top five NFL player props picks for the Steelers vs. Colts MNF match-up:

Matt Ryan Longest Completion Under 36.5 Yards (-115)

Ryan has struggled with the Colts this season. He has thrown 10 TDs and 9 INTs. He hasn’t completed a 37+ yard pass in his last five games. The last time he did was back in week 4.

The Steelers defense are allowing 272.1 PYPG (31st), but they’ve been avoiding the big plays as of late. In their last five games, they’ve only allowed one reception of 37+ yards (A.J Brown).

NFL Betting Odds

Jonathan Taylor Under 85.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Taylor has dealt with injuries and inconsistency this season. He has had two explosive games where he rushed for 147 yards and 161 yards. However, that’s the only two times he rushed for 86+ yards.

The Steelers are only allowing 103.4 RYPG (7th). Taylor is averaging 4.6 yards per carry. He’s going to get his touches, but his best performance at home this season was 84 yards last week.

Diontae Johnson Under 46.5 Receiving Yards (-120)

Johnson has done well under the circumstances in Pittsburgh this season. He has been a reliable option in the passing game most weeks, but he only has 456 receiving yards on 51 receptions.

The Colts only allow 194.2 PYPG (6th) and Kenny Pickett is going to struggle in this game. Johnson may haul in 4-5 catches in this game, but he’s averaging just 8.9 yards per reception.

Johnson has had 47+ receiving yards in just one of the Steelers last five games.

Expert NFL Predictions

Parris Campbell Over 45.5 Receiving Yards (-110)

Campbell is second on the Colts in receiving yards (440) and receptions (44). He struggled in the two games Sam Ehlinger played (Week 8 and 9), but he has bounced back with Matt Ryan at QB.

Campbell has had 46+ receiving yards and 6+ targets in Ryan’s last four starts. The Steelers allow a lot of passing yards. Campbell has had 76 and 67 receiving yards the last two weeks with Ryan back.

Cameron Heyward Over 0.75 sacks (+165)

Alex Highsmith leads the Steelers with 9 sacks this season, but he has been cooling off a bit. Heyward is second on the team with 4 sacks and he has had a sack in three of the last five Steelers games.

Ryan has been sacked 29 times, which is tied for fifth-most in the NFL this season. The Steelers are going to pressure him constantly throughout the night and Heyward will play a big role.
