Denver's 3rd down defense is 3rd in the league. Pitts is 29th. That's a huge disparity. Denver is giving up less than 14 points per game. The Denver defense will be on fire tonight in front of the home crowd proving they are not a fluke, not to mention sharp money is on Denver.

Pitt is a different team with Troy P.Comment -
Too bad he doesn't play on the offensive line because Furburger will get sacked repeatedly. You will be introduced to Elvis Dumervil.Originally posted by ipickwinnersComment -
harrison will be a difference maker tonight...a sack of two ....FF....or INT...something. i guarantee he will do somethingOriginally posted by freeVICKComment -
I love Denver, but it's foolish to sit here and say they're a lock or something. Pitt is just ONE OF THOSE TEAMS, like the Colts, who you can never feel that confident against, because they FIND A WAY to pull out games!!
Believe me, I'm a Broncos believer and I want to bet heavy on them, but Pitt scares the heck out of me. Roethlisberger just wins. And Harrison is a total beast, as is Polamalu.Comment -
Read again, I never said "lock" and I never give out "locks" or guarantees. It's just after looking at this game backwards and forwards, this game should be a pick'em at best. Pittsburg being a huge public team is the only reason they are favored which is why I said "The wrong team is favored".Originally posted by CapybaraComment -
I like the Steelers tonight. Denver played a soft schedule whereas Steelers played with the elite teams in the league and won.Comment -

Rest of Pitt's = Tenn, Chi, Min, Det
I don't see a disparity in strength of schedule here....Comment -
Pitt does get up for games like this no doubt. Pitt has had leads in the games they lost in the 4th quarter. Denver besides the last game has been a beast in the 2nd half leading the league in least 2nd half pts allowed.
I'm just looking for a great game and had Denver not lost the last game as they did they would of been favored.
I still like Pitt even though Denver has played the tougher schedule.Comment -
thought I heard something about them not allowing a TD in the 2nd half this year or last 4 games or something along those lines.Originally posted by pokernut9999I believe Denver has trailed at the half last 4 games
Broncos make great 1/2 time adjustments

Pitt isn't that good. They got lucky against the Vikings. They are still Pitt though and you can never count them out. That said, I still take Denver +3Comment -
i have no idea who takes this game out...i do know that the UNDER is the play BIG hereComment -

No cause Pit beat SD at home not on the road. SD wins most of the time at home check their record at home the last 4 years.Comment -
Huh?Originally posted by patsfan2727
Dallas is on par with Minn or slight edge to Minny.
New England blows away Chicago
Baltimore and Oakland both better than Tenn or Detroit.
Edge goes to Denver and look at where Denver's wins were.
Pitt is 1-2 on the Road with their only win being 28-20 @ Detroit. Not Impressive.
Denver is 4-0 at home.Comment -
I still think that playing in Denver has more of an effect on away players than the home team. Anybody who's done some mountain climbing or skiing at high elevations will tell you that you don't have the same endurance or lung capacity. Considering the game is 3+ hours long I think that plays a role in why the Broncos have shut teams down in the 2nd half...You can simulate crowd noise at a practice facility, but there's really no way to prepare your body for Mile High. Just my $0.02. My thinking is that since Denver is where the home team lives, and practices, and is accustomed to living that they'd have somewhat of a physical edge.Comment -
Well, they had allowed 1 TD and 10 total points before last weeks game against Baltimore. Against Baltimore they allowed 24 2nd half points.Originally posted by mmike032thought I heard something about them not allowing a TD in the 2nd half this year or last 4 games or something along those lines.
Broncos make great 1/2 time adjustments
7 points in the 4th quarter against Cinci game 1.
Then they didn't allow a 2nd half point until 3rd quarter against SD and it was a FG.
Then against Baltimore they give up 24 points.
What defense will show up tonight is the question.Comment -
The line is right
Huge edge at QB for PittComment -
Agree, I've been the Denver area to go skiing in years past. It's harder to breathe no doubt. They even said before the game that Clark is not playing safety for Pitt because of his sickle cell and how some of his other organs might collapse. (He has had his gal bladder and spleen removed). They then said Santonio Holmes has Sickle Cell but not the rare kind Ryan Clark has and he has a hard time breathing when he plays in Denver, but his slept in a hyperbolic chamber this past week.Originally posted by patsfan2727Comment -
A lot of talk about their defense , yet no talk about their offense ?
Only average 20 points a game.
They may have slight edge on defense but Pitt has edge on offense
Big Ben or Kyle Orton ?Comment -
Ready for kickoff! I'm not running the O/U tonight but have plays on Broncos (+3) and a small prop for Big Ben throwing for less than 258 1/2. Good luck to all!Comment -
bottom line for me, ben vs neckbeard.. gimme steelersComment -
Denver already won 5 games with a miracle comeback in the 4th quarter. You can't be doing this for a long time in the NFL. At some point numbers will average down. This is like a double escalator at the mall. Denver is on the escalator going down and Pittsburgh is on the one going up. Better team at the moment wins. Period!Comment -
Tough game to bet on... Been going back and forth all day... On Den +3 for 2 units, but plan on enjoying the game
