Overview
- Kickoff is Sunday, Nov. 2 at 1 p.m. ET at Acrisure Stadium, with coverage on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
- Oddsmakers list Indianapolis as a 3-point favorite with a total around 50.5, per FanDuel.
- Indianapolis enters 7-1 with the league’s No. 1 offense at 385.3 yards and 33.8 points per game, powered by Daniel Jones’ efficient start and Jonathan Taylor leading the NFL in rushing yards and total touchdowns.
- Pittsburgh’s defense has allowed the most passing yards per game and ranks poorly on third down and yards per play, though it is top-10 in sacks and takeaways; the team also added safety Kyle Dugger this week.
- A potential hinge point is Indianapolis’ pass-rush efficiency, which ESPN-tracked metrics rate near the bottom of the league, a weakness Aaron Rodgers could target given his 16 TDs, 104.4 rating, quick release and low pressure rate.
