Steelers 7-2-1 on theroad vs Broncos 4-6
Time: Sunday November 25th, 4:25 PM
Odds: Steelers are athree point favorite.
On paper the Broncos are the type of team the Steelers should soundly beat as they have an average offense and below average defense. Their one player who hurt us in the past was Thomas,but he's not the same guy and was traded to Houston. Sanders is a possession receiver that can still move chains but he’s hardly explosive. The other pass targets are to the backs in Lindsay and Freeman.Keenum has 11 TD’s 10 Interceptions for the season is probably one of the worst 12 starting QB’s in the game. The Steelers should focus on stopping the run first as either Lindsay or Freeman can gash us a bit. I think a base 4-3 or nickel with focus on jamming the middle gaps will slow Denver’s rushing attack down. They aren’t the type of team that is going to do well on 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] and long, or mount comebacks when down two scores.
Defensively Denver is rather poor ranking 22[SUP]nd[/SUP] with 375.5 yards surrendered a game, however they do have three very good players to watch out for. Von Miller has 10 sacks and 16 QB hits, Chubb,9 sacks and 13 QB hits. Helping our Tackles with a TE or FB here should be a focus. Throwing in a well timed screen also makes sense. Chris Harris is a near shut downtype of corner. Ben shouldn’t test himon 50/50 type of passes often. If Conner has a good day, the Denver pass rush will be less of an issue.
Intangibles: Denver almost commits as many penalties as we do. For whatever reason Tomlin coached teams play poorly in the Mountain to Pacific Time zones. Yes, these are all road games, but there’s something more to it.
Prediction:
Steelers 28
Broncos 24
History of winners:
Week three winner: KTW. Steelers 31, Bucs 28
Week four winner: DBS1970. Ravens 28, Steelers 13
Week five winner: Aussie Steeler,who predicted a 46-37 win
Week Six winner: TDX27 Steelers 37, Bungles 31
Week Seven winners Steel Hurt , JMM and KTW1021, each of whom called Steelers31, Browns 17
Week eight, Aussie Steeler whopredicted Steelers 24, Ravens 17. A near perfect call.
Week Nine.Stewey who predicted Steelers 42, Panthers 17
KTW1021 and Fab802, each of whom predicted Steelers 27 Jaguars 24.
