Pittsburgh at Denver

Bookmaker.com line – Pittsburgh -3 (39)

     The line tells you that the books are not yet sold on the Broncos, especially after that spanking they took in Baltimore last Sunday. And bettors seem to agree – early money is backing the Steelers by 2-1, which could drive the line up a point or a point and a half. Pittsburgh has been a crappy cover team this season (2-5 ATS), but by kickoff they will have had more than two weeks rest since their victory over the Vikings. In Denver, the lopsided loss to the Ravens has started to put pressure on the coaching staff to abandon its conservative no-mistakes game plans. Kyle Orton averaged less than 3.5 yards a completion last Sunday. And Denver’s best deep-threat wideout, Brandon Marshall, caught 4 passes for only 24 yards.
