 In the case of the Pittsburgh Steelers, that may not be true. After backup Byron Leftwich led the Steelers to a Monday night win, it is uncertain whether he or the injured Ben Roethlisberger will be under center against the Indianapolis Colts this week.

After Big Ben was knocked out of Monday's game, Leftwich, who had thrown 14 passes this season, went 7-of-10 for 129 yards and a touchdown in relief. But thanks to a killer defense, it may not matter who is the starting QB.

The Steelers boast the NFL's No. 1 total defense, allowing just 234.1 yards per game, and they have 32 sacks through eight games.

The Colts have won only once in 10 trips to Pittsburgh and are 0-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record this year. NFL odds are available in the Bodog Sportsbook.
