Really looking forward to this game. I wouldn't be surprised if Denver racks up 5+ sacks. It takes Big Ben about 3x longer than Brady or Manning to recognize a blitz, at which point he lumbers backwards and to the left and loses 15 yards.
Steelers defense will likely make a statement, since all the talk this year has been about the Broncos. I see a low scoring game until the third quarter, which seems to be the norm now, followed by both offenses running over gassed defenses.
Steelers haven't won in Denver since 1990, except for their playoff win in 2005.
I like Denver because I expect Roethlisberger to turn the ball over a few times. His interception % has always been ridiculously high for an "elite" QB.

I think the key is which Steeler's defense shows up. It will be hard for Denver to get points on the Steeler's D which showed up against Minnesota. On the other hand, I think Denver's OL can keep Harrison and Woodley in check.
I think Ryan Clark's absence may be key. He does a lot of things which allow Polamalu to freelance successfully.

I don't like either team BUT want the Squellers to lose. The Bronco's will lose a few more game.
This will be a good test to see IF the Donkies can beat a good team. I know,I know they beat us but Brady was not Brady in that game and they lucked out against the Bengals in week 1. The Chargers win yesterday puts pressure on them now. I can see 10-6 winning that division.
I don't like the team or their fans, but their defense is pretty ridiculous for Fantasy. I do have limits though, as I never start guys against the Pats. Dallas Clark is going to get the bench this week and I don't care how good he might do.
I just quit doing FF altogether. It's time consuming and messes with my enjoyment of football. I think I'll be rooting for Denver on this one, but I think that will be a first. I will know for sure once the ball is kicked off.
Too many possibilities and permutations in W/L to come up with a definitive answer here. I guess I'm rooting for the Donks because of Josh and I really don't like the Steelers as Team of the Decade, but I'm concerned it's maybe the wrong move for our seeding with Denvah wining the tiebreaker with us.
Sorta like going to the Doctor's where he says, "The bad news is you have testicular cancer. But the good news is it's curable. You wanna lose your left nut or your right?"

Don't want the Steelers establshing themselves as an elite team once again and I still feel the Patriots will end up with a better record than the Broncos.

After reading all the arguments, I think I will take the easy way out: I'll just hope for an entertaining game, and be glad that there's a benefit to either outcome.
