I will take the points here. Pitts are not healthy on both side of the ball to win this impressively. The key here is defense for the Broncos, its basicly come down to contain Ben and Hines Ward. I do see a slow starting 1st half and down to the 4 Qtr with TD win for Pittsburg.

Den +9

BOLA

Denver gets the shit kicked out of them. Pitt minus whatever. Pitt has enough defense to shut down Denver. Denver cant defend well against the pass. I would take the under but I am afraid of big plays by Pitt.      

Bet Subject to weather conditions

It's half-past Tebow time.

Now it's playoff time, and that means Steeler time. The template has been set for how to stop Tebow, who is unlikely to turn into an effective pocket passer in less than a week. Pittsburgh should embarrass Denver's dog-and-pony show of an offense.

Pittsburgh -9

Your statement would make more sense if you replace hines ward with walace.  Hines isnt the same threat he used to be.  Broncos dont fear him, thats for sure.  Brown and Wallace are the go to guys now!

Mendenhall lost for the season in a somewhat meaningless game last week, Mewelde Moore has been out for 2 games, and may not play in this one, and Roethlisberger's still gimpy. This only leaves the passing game - and I hear the Broncos have a couple of young upstarts in Brian Dawkins and Champ Bailey

Plus, Ryan Clark "all of a sudden" has a sickle cell trait that makes him susceptible to organ damage if he exerts himself at high altitude — and the Broncos’ stadium is a mile above sea level.

The Lord works in mysterious ways..............

Denver +9

Denver M/L - small

Over 34.5

and hopefully Hines Ward doesn't get hit by a lightning bolt.........

good luck all!!!!!!!!!!

      I'm going under  here with my totals bet.  Pitt has numerous injuries ,especially Ben,which should play nicely on the under selection. After the last 4 games, the Broncos point production has gone down as teams have wised up to Mr. Tebow's antics. The Steelers D should contain him here. Inspite of the running back injuries, the Steelers will dig up a warm body, and keep it on the ground for most of the game. All those variables along with playing on the grass in cold weather. Seeing the score as 17 - 6.

UNDER  34.5
