1/8 NFL Pittsburgh at Denver 4:30pm

Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos
4:30 pm EST

Pittsburgh failed to win the AFC North and must travel to the AFC West champion broncos who backed into the playoffs at 8-8 thanks to an Oakland loss. Tim Tebow has struggled the last 2 weeks specifically with a completion percentage of under 50% and now must face one of the top defenses in the NFL.

however Pittsburgh has problems of their own. Starting RB Rashard Mendenhall blew out his knee and is gone for the year and QB Ben Roethlisberger has a bothersome high ankle sprain and has struggled to move around the last couple weeks.

Pittsburgh enters as the 5th seed, Denver is the 4th seed

due to Denver's struggles on offense to put up points the last 3 weeks against tepid opponents oddsmakers have Pittsburgh as strong favorites even on the road. Pittsburgh faced a bad offense 2 weeks ago and shutout St. Louis. it was their 2nd shutout of the year.

[stevesmi]

post up who you bet for so i can hit you back and then take your karma later on.. lol

easier for me to hit you when you post in my threads so i can see you

 

[EarthRider]

it's easier when there aren't so many games to bet on

when i have like 25 picks during regular season then i don't waste the time posting in every thread.

thanks for posting up the games guys

im taking denver here..i know tebow is overrated but thats too many pts at home for any playoff team.. pitt is banged up and denver got a good defense

 

[EarthRider]

you might be right, you're the king cane

 

[hurricane]

i might be wrong also.. i wanted to take pitt when the match up was 1st annouced.. i was expecting pitt -4.5 or -5.. but -8.5? thats to many points for a home team in the playoffs imo..

 

[brownbrown]

Team TEBOW time!
Points..

 

[upndown]

I'll take Steelers down 8.5 even in Denver. A little k would be great.

 

[IncredibleHoss]

Toughest game of this weekend at 8.5pts. Still will go with Roethlisberger with a leg and a half and no rb.

I'm liking the home team in other games.

LOL, good luck Steve!

 

[IncredibleHoss]

Tebow can throw the long ball. 1 pt game. Final is gonna be 24-20 broncos upset

 

[hurricane]

lot of k riding on broncos.. looking very good so far

 

[stevesmi]

Steelers are idiots. playing all careful and settling for FG's early on. should of been up 14-0 not 6-0. now the Broncos have a 2 TD lead going into the 2nd half. the steelers D needs to step it up and start creating turnovers, horrible game plan in the 2nd quarter biting on every play action the broncos did. Polamolu needs to learn discipline and not bite every play.. they so obsessed with stopping the run they forgot to cover downfield

 

[hurricane]

o well if the steelers do come back.. atleast i know i will hit my over bet on the game lol

 

[stevesmi]

Tebow took advantage of the steelers bad discipline, i give the guy credit. if he can play the way he did on 2 of those drives in the 2nd half then the broncos will win easy .. but if he plays like he did in the 1st quarter the steelers have a chance

 

[IncredibleHoss]

Ahh my pick was so close with Pitt by 3. Impossible for Pitt to cover now

3-1 playoffs . Damn texans

 

[hurricane]

tebow time!
