I'm a Steeler Hater , but agree with you. 24-10 Pittsburgh and it may be Denver's "D" that gets their TD.

I really don't think it would be a huge upset if the Broncos won. Pittsburgh has a lot of injuries, with Pouncey likely out, Ryan Clark out, Mendenhaal and Mewelde Moore are out, and Ben is hobbled. The Steelers looked terrible against the Browns last week, and Denver has one of the biggest home field advantages with the altitude and a very noisy crowd. I'm not picking the Broncos and I wouldn't be shocked if the Steelers win easily, but if Denver's running game plays well it's not out of the realm of possibility that the Broncos could get the win.

New Orleans is going to ROLL Detroit, it'll only be close until Stafford wears out from keeping up with Brees.
Cincinnati and Houston is a toss-up and will most likely be one of the ugliest play-off games ever, no idea who will win
Expecting Big Ben, bad ankle and all, to show Teblow how big white QBs are supposed to play
New York is actually more talented than they were in 2007, difference is the NFC has improved a lot in the last 4 years, still see them beating Atlanta at home.

Pittsburgh's defense is banged up and so is their QB, not to mention Denver should be able to run on them. I see it being like 17-14 but I still expect Pittsburgh to win, play-off experience counts for a lot and Pittsburgh has plenty of it.

Pittsburgh is going to put eight men in the box until Tebow proves he can beat them with his arm. (Which won't happen)

Just wondering where all the Tim Tebow love you two had during the season went.

Oh I love Tebow, he's a leader and a throwback NFL player. But he's not going to be a successful NFL quarterback.

There was an article posted on ESPN on Wednesday that said his injury had regressed. He reaggravated it in the game against the Browns last weekend.

Yeah I think he would be an incredible tight end, too bad he doesn't see it that way. Actually he'd probably make a pretty good possession receiver, either he'll learn that or he won't, there's still a slim chance he could develop as a passer this off-season but I doubt it. From what I've been hearing out of Denver since Josh McDaniels left I don't think they believe he'll improve much either.

I think he'll be a tight end/receiver soon enough. Probably not on Denver but another team. He has a good chance of having a very successful NFL career. It just won't be as quarterback. The kid has the heart of a Lion.

Just remind him that Dan Marino's record is a record no more.

There are 5 QBs in the play-offs with more rings than Marino's total.
