I will be rooting for the Broncos

Yeah, if there was a team for them to face in Denver this week... as odd as it sounds, the Steelers at this point are a good prospect for an upset win. Defensively, they're a beast and will create a ton of issues. Offensively, Ben is hobbled, Mendenhall is out... and Denver's defense has shown they can play at a high level.

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.
