Prediction

Going into this game, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a three point favorite. For a team that has a strong winning record, it seems a bit low. But Denver thrives at being the underdog. And the Steelers have shown that they struggle in Denver.

Those could be factors in the point spread. Which could mean this game could be close. Mike Tomlin is one of the better head coaches in the league. It would be a big boost of confidence to Vance Joseph if he is able to get the better of him.

What Broncos Country should be thankful for. dark. Next

Case Keenum seems to be getting into a groove. I am hoping that the trend continues. If it does, it could be an easy day in the office. This game will likely be resolved on the defense that shows up and makes the bigger plays.

Pittsburgh has been in a few close games this season. If the Broncos can hang around going into the fourth quarter, I can see them coming away with a win.

I believe that instead of Brandon McManus winning the game, it will be the Broncos defense that gets a key turnover that puts the Broncos into the win column again. The defense will hold and secure a win.
