Broncos Lie In Wait For Steelers
Pittsburgh (+3) at Denver:
Both teams have a lot of running backs at their disposal, both have decent quarterbacks, they have safeties who can knock you down. Denver are 9-0 at home while Pittsburgh are 8-2 on the road - including the classic encounter at Indianapolis. So it's anyone's game.
Cowher, Steelers coach, is probably the man of the moment after defeating the Colts. He has the plan and his players execute it. What more do you need. On paper it looks like the Broncos offense vs. the Steelers defense - whoever wins that battle will most likey come away with the victory. Yet it could also come down to the Broncos defense and Steeler's offense stepping up to give their team that surprise edge.
The Pittsburgh Steelers want to become the first 6th seed to reach the Super Bowl since the NFL went to its current playoff system in 1990. That's fifteen years of history against them - it isn't easy. Games and fatigue have a habit of piling up and snapping you at the wrong moment.
Pittsburgh are +3.5 on the point spread for this road game at the time of writing.
