After the Cincinnati Bengals were run over by the Houston Texans on Saturday evening, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos will square off for the right to play in New England on Jan. 14.
For me, the ideal situation was for the Bengals to win and avoid playing the Steelers if they were to beat the Broncos on Sunday. If that were the case, the Steelers and Ravens would beat each other up while the Bengals travel to face the Pats next weekend.
Patriots nation was not so fortunate.
Instead, the Bengals did not look ready for he upstart Texans and Pats fans turn their attention to Denver. Could a Mile High miracle actually take place? It’s doubtful, but not impossible.
While I would love to face Tim Tebow and the Broncos one week from today, the Steelers are not going into the playoffs at full strength. Pittsburgh is limping in to the tournament, but obviously no team should sleep on them.
While I expect Pittsburgh to win, one can only hope for a Mile High miracle and perhaps, a little divine intervention. I guess, for that answer, we will have to wait until Sunday’s match up.
I would feel confident laying both teams for a second time, but what is your take? How would you feel about either opponent? Leave a comment and share your feelings below!

Well, i think that no matter who ends up playing the Patriots on the 14th,the Patriots will still kick their a**. By the way, nice written post.
Thanks Jacob. I’m feeling good about the game too.
Geez, I just wish we would stop with this talk about not wanting to play this team or that team in the playoffs.
Think about it, the superbowl champion supposed to be the best team in the league, not the one that won it because they were lucky enough to avoid certain teams in the playoffs. At least thats not the type of super bowl champion I want the pats to be !! To be the best you should beat the best, cmon guys don’t be a wuss !!
I think the Broncos Pittsburgh game is going to be more competitive than most people think, but don’t think the broncos can pull it out. I would much rather see a Broncos Pats matchup than a Steelers Pats matchup even though Steelers are somewhat hobbled right now.
whoever they play, personally i dont think the patriots will lose their first playoff game this year.they lost three in a row and they will know they cant go one and done this year after another great regular season.i wanted to them to play the inexpierienced bengals but it didnt work out that way and ill be rooting for the broncos today
