Default Steelers -3 1/2 vs Broncos

Are you serious??
Broncos are a complete disaster. Steelers are a real legit team. What the heck is up with this line..
Id jump on it even at Steelers -10

Definitely a head scratcher at this point in the season.

Bengals -6 is a joke to me. Jets will probably win that straight up.

Dare I utter the words 'trap game'? Sunday Night game, big national stage, Denver seems on the ropes at this point with their last couple of outings... with a QB who can make big plays. I wonder the health of Javon Walker here though. Also, shoot me, I think the Steelers are a tad overrated, there I said it.

At first glance, I actually lik the Broncos getting 3 1/2 at home. I'm not sold on the Steelers being anything better than an above average AFC team. Granted, the Broncos have shown very little this year. I just keep thinking that Shanahan has got to figure this out eventually. At home, after a bye week is his best shot to turn this thing around. I'll probably play the Broncos getting the points when I make my picks.

Steelers

Sorry, this is coming from a biased fan.......we are going to smack Denver in the mouth on a regular basis throughout 60 minutes of grind it out football.........but I'd still feel better at -3

I've been waiting for this game for two weeks.

I had a feeling the line would open too low. The Steelers have the second-best running game in the NFL (YPG), and the Broncos have the worst run defense (YPG against). That's just the beginning.

The Steelers have the best defense in the NFL (YPG against).

The Broncos could easily be 0-5. They beat the Bills by 1 and they beat the Raiders in OT. That's the Bills and the Raiders. They got beat pretty well by the Jags (home, 14-23) and the Colts (away, 20-38). They got their clocks cleaned at home by the Chargers (3-41).

I lost money on the Broncos a few weeks back. Their offense puts up some good stats, and I do tend to look at stats. But I'm not going to be fooled by that again. Something is seriously wrong with this team.

I say grab the Steelers, and fast.

I'll be rollin with the steel city in this one. I'm sure you guys remember what the chargers did to denver last week. The steelers I think have a better team than denver and SD but thats just my opinion. Take the good ole steelers to cover easy.

The oddsmakers thought the 1/2 point would even out the bets to start??? They are going to get pounded and that line should move quite a bit; seems like it should be in the 4.5 to 6 range to me

I agree this is one of those don't miss out plays.

Trap my ass there is no way Denver covers here as they can throw it too if needed. Ward will be back heathly aswell.

Ride Steelers all the way to a 7 point spread and then think about it.

Ps Death to the Packers
