So, it could be an ugly game, but I'm never really betting against Big Ben - the guy is a stud. If Denver wins, I'll be shocked - but I am hoping to be shocked. It's all I can do really.

Prior to their bye... PITT was giving up 20+ points a game, but since then (6 games) only 1 team has broken 9 points scored (49ers scored 20).

In the last 6 games, they've scored 13 @ KC ... 14 and 13 each vs the Browns - while blowing out CIN and STL and losing to the 49ers.

Offensively, I think it's a good matchup for Denver's defense and it will be all on Denver's defense to keep this low scoring.

Denver has to do what they've been doing in the ground game, but they have to pass more often early to keep them honest. It won't be easy and it's likely going to be frustratingly ugly for Denver fans.

Respectfully disagree. Even with Mendy out the Steelers WRs will scorch your DB backfield. You look out how much better the Chiefs 2ndary is compared to Denver when the Chiefs defeated GB and shut out the Steelers WRs a month ago. No way Denver's 2ndary will shut down Ben, Mike,Antonio and Hines. Pitt's D will do what KC's D did to Tebow by stacking the box and playing man to man forcing Tebow to beat them with his arm with Troy waiting for those Tebow lollipop passes to come floating his way.
