Steelers-Colts Announcers Revealed

Rich Eisen, Kurt Warner, and Jamie Erdahl will call the Steelers’ game in Indianapolis on Saturday, the team revealed on Monday with their release. This will be their first time calling one of Pittsburgh’s games this year, which makes, but it is a special national broadcast on NFL Network. The Steelers and Colts game will be broadcast locally on KDKA on top of the national game.

The three last called Pittsburgh’s thrilling win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Eve a year ago. The Steelers and Colts are both in a must-win situation here, as both are coming off losses that gave their playoff odds a significant hit. With multiple teams heating up at 7-6 in the AFC Wild Card race, both teams need to pull out wins to push towards a playoff bid down the stretch.

The oddsmakers have set the line for the Steelers and the Colts at a staggering 42.5 points. That’s the third-highest total of the season for the Steelers, who had an over/under of 44 against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6 and a 43. 5 total against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. Both of those games went under the total.

The Colts are eighth in the NFL in scoring offense and a dreadful 29th in scoring defense. Nine of their 13 games have gone under the total.

For Saturday’s 4:30 p.m. kickoff from inside Lucas Oil Stadium, the Steelers are 2.5-point underdogs, and the Pittsburgh money line pays out at +120, according to odds posted early Tuesday by ESPN Bet.

With both teams striving for wins, it should be a heated affair. The Steelers are looking for some positivity after losing two straight to 2-10 teams down the stretch. Those two straight losses have raised significant questions around Pittsburgh and how to fix things, but a win against the Colts in Indianapolis could go a long way to quelling those questions.
