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.

Jake Plummer will most likely play this week even though The Broncos have clinched the second seed in the AFC playoffs and can afford to rest some key starters. Mike Shanahan stated that the usual starters can expect to play today against the Chargers and while quite a few of the backups will see some time, the coach has mintimated that the key players should prepare for the whole game.

On the injury side, Shanahan said Al Wilson, Courtney Brown, Mike Anderson and Darrent Williams are out.

There is always a danger that players get ring rusty when they've been out - but Plummer didn't seem too concerned - even if he did not play at all this week - because practice is still as demanding as ever.

Matchup History: This is the 84th meeting. The Broncos lead the go Chargers 51-31-1. The Chargers have already lost 20-17 this season (at Denver). Last year Jake Plummer threw four interceptions and San Diego won, which was a crucial game in the San Diego's AFC West championship season.

On the sports betting front, the Denver Broncos are getting +11 on the pointspread for their trip to San Diego.
