No contest. Pittsburgh will have their way with them.

[goh]

16-13 Broncos on a last second 56 yard FG.

This one's going to be close but I think Pitt will win something like 13-6.

Broncos 7-6. Tim Tebow throws into triple coverage on the last play of the game but it gets batted in the air where he runs 40 yds in 1 second to catch the pass. He then breaks 5 tackles and does a 360 double backflip into the end one over a defender and sticks the landing.

As usual, people waaaaay overestimate the Steelers. Ben is still hobbling around, he says he was only 60% against the Browns today, and he had a decent game, but the Broncos defense is better than the Browns, and they're gonna bring some pressure. It looks like Mendenhall is done for the playoffs so Redman and Clay are going to have to carry the load and Redman is going to have to protect the ball better after fumbling twice. The Steelers aren't going to let the Broncos run and they're gonna force Tebow to beat them with his arm and I think that's where the Steelers win on a solid defensive effort. Someone said that the domination won't be seen in the score, well, I don't think domination will happen but I think the score won't really represent what actually happens...

PIT - 17
DEN - 12

EDIT: Also interesting for the Steelers is that there's a good chance Ryan Clark won't play. He has a health issue involving I believe his heart and his blood and the air in Mile High doesn't suit him very well, I think the last few times the Steelers have played the Broncos he hasn't played. Ryan Mundy, whos been solid as a backup this year would start for him. Not particularly worried about that one, although Clark did lead the Steelers in tackles this year, first safety to ever do that for the Steelers.

Please, Denver. Please.

I'm almost certain it isn't people looking the Steelers way. Broncos face Lions; get destroyed, Bears; MB3 can't stay in bounds, Patriots; destroyed, Chiefs; held to 3 points. Would you agree that the steelers are probably better than 3 of those teams if not all 4? I really believe it's difficult to look at the Broncos and see them winning against a playoff experienced team that's actually pretty damn good by the way.
