Partly cloudy. Winds blowing from the Southwest at 5-10 m.p.h. Game-time temperature: Around 60.
Denver’s bye week snapped its momentum and the same thing might happen to Steelers tonight. Orton is 27-13 as a NFL starter, including 18-2 at home. This year, he is completing 63.6 percent of his passes for 1,617 yards and nine touchdowns with just one interception. Pittsburgh is going to be without three starters on defense tonight so the running back combination of Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter should be effective enough to set things up for the passing game. The Steelers have a major injury in each line of their defense. Kirschke is out on the D-Line. Timmons will be out at linebacker and Clark wont play at safety.The Broncos have the third-ranked run defense (86.1 yards per game), sixth-ranked pass defense (180.6 yards) and top-ranked overall defense for yardage and scoring (13.7 points per game allowed). Denver is also third in the league in sacks with 23, and that doesn't bode well for Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, who has been sacked 20 times already this season. Pittsburgh is 0-5 ATS in its last five road games and as a road favorite. Denver, on the other hand, is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games overall and 4-0 ATS in its last four as a home underdog. The clincher is the fact that Denver is 7-1 SU and 8-0 ATS as a home dog with a winning record. This line is still +3 on my site but I do see in some places where the line is on the move or has already moved in Denvers favor. About 68% of the public money is being bet on the Steelers, yet the line is moving down toward Denver. Wise guys have obviously settled into Denver while the public is still doubtful that Denver is for real. The Steelers have been turning the ball over a little too much and they come into Denver with a minus turnover ratio. Denver on the other hand is not turning it over much at all. The Steelers OL is weak at best and the Denver DL is capable of a strong pass rush plus the Bronco secondary is solid and picked up Ty Law this week as a backup. Denver will force Big Ben to shorten his drops and because of the pressure it will keep everything in front of them and will force the Steelers to play a style of offense that they are not comfortable with. Denver has allowed only 11 ppg at home this year!
