Over half their games have been vs Offenses that are the bottom 1/3 in the league, 2/3 have been in the bottom half, and only 2 games (out of 14) have been against top 10 teams. And versus the lone top #5 team (Patriots) lots of referee controversy in that game.

Brock has had it pretty easy since replacing Manning (home game vs Patriots with amazing penalties called your way), (Chargers team not focused and very injured), (Bears team thats just near the bottom of the barrel in talent), (Raiders team thats still young, inexperienced and in the middle of a makeover from top to bottom), (KC Chiefs team with mediocre and safe offense, no real downfield threats)...

With such a young QB going on the road to play in a very fan frenzied Pittsburgh, it should be his toughest game yet. Averaging just 1 TD a game isnt going to win at Heinz Field. And the Steelers Offense has so many threats that the Broncos "D" are going to have to try and contain, Inside, outside, down the middle, over the top. Should be fun to watch this defense try and cover an entire field, instead of just focusing on 1 or 2 players.

With Brock under center, with Kubiaks dull and boring offense, there just wont be enough to keep up with the big plays and drives the Steelers have been doing week after week. With a RB and WO's to try and contain, the ?Steelers are an offensive juggernaut who will be hard to contain. Laying the 6.5 should be easy and a no-brainer.

Experienced QB and explosive offense vying for their playoff lives AT HOME vs Dull offense, but great defense that hasnt faced a team yet that can spread the ball from the backfield to anywhere forward, AND with a wide-eyed new QB who the coach will keep giving him safe plays. EASY game here, no need to over think it.

ICING ON THE CAKE - Martavis Bryant's 25th birthday is game day (just a fun fact), and should grab Aquib Talib covering him.

Steelers -6.5 At Home

Are these Steelers gonna be the hot team rolling into the playoffs? I know at least one team will steam roll the last 3 regular season games.....just don't know which team it will be.

Gbay? Pitt? Chiefs? Jets? Teams like the Giants in 2011 that was 1-5 last 6 games going into week 16 at 7-7, & then won 6 str games, including the SB.

I don't think a 9-7 team will win it all this year, but I'm looking for a team to get it going about now. Pitt could be that team......could be Gbay as well.

Good luck with your Pitt play!

Just my comment:
It's not like the steelers have faced any good defenses in the last 6-7 weeks except Seattle and they lost. Pretty even. I believe I'm taking the points here. Should be a last possession (FG) type of game

Yes, but Seattles offense can score.... Can you see that with Denver?

when Pittsburgh gets up 2 scores, are you really going to trust Brock to start slinging it safely?

Should be Pitt or no play but my bet is the officials make this a game, that vegas cashes big time looks to me too easy pitt all day plus 7 at my bookie. I always get burned when they look this easy my heart says Pitt but history tells me different. Is Denver d still banged up pretty good?

Pitt wins SU IMO w/o a doubt......& if so, Chiefs should win to stay with Pitt, Chiefs 1pm & Pitt at 4:25 pm.......Jets play Saturday night & we shall see the results.....IMO, the NFL loves chaos going into week 17......& if so, the Jets may even beat the Pats in week 16 but lose to the Bills week 17.

This is the precise type of thinking that had people on Tampa Bay last night.

Broncos +6.5, large.
