NFL Week 3 Free Pick: Take Pittsburgh. The Colts are mess without Manning and even though Kerry Collins has good career numbers against Pittsburgh (he’s 3-1 with five touchdowns and only one interception), he hasn’t shown anything to instill confidence in his play. According to latest NFL trends, the Colts are 0-4 against the spread in their last four games versus the AFC and 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games. The Steelers, meanwhile, are 5-0 ATS in their last five games as a favorite and 4-0 ATS versus a team with a losing record. Assuming Ben Roethlisberger’s knee injury isn’t a problem, the Steelers should roll in this one.
