After a trip to London, the Indianapolis Colts are back on the road in Week 5, this time taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Both teams will enter this game at 2-2, with the Colts coming off a win and the Steelers a loss; however, most experts don't like Indianapolis' chances in this game.
ESPN
ESPN's three-person prediction crew are all picking the Steelers to win this game. ESPN's FPI prediction model has this as a very close game, giving the Colts a 49.9% chance of winning this game.
Pro Football Talk
Mike Florio has Pittsburgh winning as well, by a score of 24-20.
"Pittsburgh’s schedule suddenly has plenty of winnable games on it. This week, the Steelers go three extra days to get ready, and the Colts had to fly back from London."

This is much closer to a split decision,
with three experts picking the Steelers, while two pick the Colts to win. Here is why Jeremy Bergman likes the Steelers:
"Pittsburgh is going through it. The Steelers have stewed for a week after their TNF loss to Cleveland in which every veteran seemed to have lost his temper. By Sunday, heads should be cooler, just as Jonathan Taylor is heating up. The Colts' star RB carried his team to victory in London and is finding the end zone at a near-league-best clip. If Taylor can dictate Sunday's game, Indy will come away with it. Daniel Jones may be standing in the way. A turnover machine in the past few weeks, Jones faces an opportunistic Pittsburgh defense in Week 5, one that has logged two takeaways in each of its first four games. Indianapolis hasn't won a game's turnover battle since November 2025. For two teams on the edge of the postseason discussion in the AFC, Sunday's result could be critical down the line. Whoever takes care of the ball should come out ahead. Point, Pittsburgh."
CBS Sports
Pete Prisco also likes the Steelers to win this game, and to do so by double digits. Pittsburgh 33, Indianapolis 23.
"The Colts have won two straight as they head to face the Steelers on the road after beating the Commanders in London last week. That's a tough turnaround, while the Steelers have extra days of rest. That matters. The Steelers will get back on track with a victory led by Aaron Rodgers."
