-home dogs are 6-0 when the spread is over 10 in 2011
-but then again it's Denver
-no mendenhall, no Clark, banged up big Ben
-but then again it's Denver

What say ye? This line intrigues me.

Mark my words. Denver will cover the spread. I doubt they'll win the game but it's going to be a closer game than people think.

Denver will be lucky to get 10 in this game PITTS mauls them.

Pouncey is also out...Denver could pull the upset if Tebow decides to complete more than 50% of his passes for once. We might even see Brady Quinn if Tebow shows his inner fullback Sunday.

Denver might score only 10 but the Steelers offense might not even score 20. In three of their last four games, they've only scored 14 points against the Browns, 3 points against the 49ers, and 14 points against the Browns in the last game of the season. In their eight road games this year, the Steelers have averaged only 15.6 PPG and that number is inflated because they put up 23 against the Colts and 32 points against a Cardinals team that was playing absolutely abysmal football at the time. They're going to struggle to score points this Sunday unless they force a bunch of turnovers to give their offense good field position.

Almost every sharp I keep track of is taking Denver and the points...

Only 2nd time in NFL history a home team has been more than a TD underdog (in the playoffs)...

I'd stay away

As a Steeler fan, I wouldn't take it. Offense has been shite since Ben messed up his ankle.

I mean, it's not like he could play worse than Tebow. Hopefully we will get after Big Ben with Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil.

Hell No! It would be hard to take an away team, in the playoffs, favored by 10.5.
