Driver: Indianapolis leads offensively at 34 PPG with 13 TDs vs. just 3 INTs; Pittsburgh is on a 2-game losing streak.

Verdict: Miss
Die Steelers gewannen deutlich mit 34:22 zu Hause gegen die Colts (Quellen: ESPN, CBS Sports, PFF). Die Vorhersage lag falsch – trotz der Buchmacher-Favoritenrolle der Colts (−3 Spread, −175 ML) setzte sich der Heimvorteil Pittsburghs durch. Jaylen Warren dominierte mit zwei langen Touchdowns (u.a. 50-Yard-Run) und 188 Gesamtyards, während Jonathan Taylor auf nur 45 Rushing-Yards limitiert wurde. Die Colts kamen nur auf 5 Field Goals (22 Punkte), was auf stagnante Red-Zone-Effizienz hindeutet – genau der Risikofaktor, den das ESPN-Predictor-Modell (51 % Steelers) angedeutet hatte und der in der Vorhersage unterschätzt wurde.

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com). According to grandepremio.com, the Las Vegas GP (Nov 20–22) is the earliest possible race for a mathematical title decision: a lead of ≥86 points after the race would clinch the constructors' title early. With four remaining races (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi) and this cushion, even a mediocre Las Vegas result suffices. Bookmaker odds imply >85% for Mercedes' 2026 constructors' title.

Bookmaker odds imply ~38% win probability for Max Verstappen (moneyline +160). He won the São Paulo GP today and holds the Las Vegas track record from 2025, where he dominated by ~20 seconds. Since Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) already secured the 2026 World Championship in Mexico, the remaining battle is for 2nd in the standings between Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton and Leclerc (within ~9 points). Verstappen is highly motivated to collect wins. Competition: George Russell +400, Kimi Antonelli +700, Lewis Hamilton +2800. The night race on the Las Vegas Strip historically favors Red Bull and Verstappen's driving style.
