Steelers vs. Broncos
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 6:43 am
I won't lie, the Patriots kicked Denver's ass on just about every play except the few 5 or 6 plays that mattered the most. Scoreboard is all that counts, which is why I'm taking Denver to win against Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh may very well kick dirt in Denver's face too, but will they out-point them? No. Outscoring the Broncos at Mile High hasn't happened all year long (9 games) and won't happen on the 10th game either.
Eric Allen at ESPN thinks the game rests on The Snake's shoulders and whether or not HE makes the big mistake. I personally find that assessment to be too simplistic. For example -- If you look at the Broncos game vs. the Pats, the game really came down to which quarterback protected the ball, right? So let me ask you this -- Who would have EVER said before that game that Brady would be the guy to screw up and not Jake? Nobody, because it was a foregone conclusion that Brady wasn't going to make a mistake and that Jake is just itching to revert into a mistake factory again, right? So Eric Allen really doesn't have a fucking clue what this game will turn into, because for all we know Big Ben will throw two pick 6's and look like Kyle Boller on Sunday. Fuck that conventional wisdom bullshit.
Broncos 20
Steelers 16
