The Steelers (5-2) beat Minnesota 27-17 at home in Week 7 and sat out last week with a bye. They currently sit second in the AFC North. QB Ben Roethlisberger made 14 of 26 passes for 175 yards with one TD pass; overall he’s thrown for 2,062 yards with 11 TD passes and six interceptions for a 102.6 passer rating. RB Rashard Mendenhall had 10 carries for 69 yards, while WR Mike Wallace made three catches for 72 yards with a TD. The Steelers pulled down one interception and had three sacks on the day. The Steelers would’ve lost if it weren’t for some last minute turnovers from Minnesota. If there is one glaring weakness for the Steelers it is their special teams . They have given up three TD’s on special teams in the past four weeks. The Broncos Eddie Royal has the ability to exploit Pittsburgh with his uncanny knack for coming up with big returns. QB Ben Roethlisberger is one of the league's toughest quarterbacks to bring down and his exceptional ability to keep plays alive often dooms defenses. Denver will have to maintain discipline in the secondary and its pass rushers must be under control when attacking Roethlisberger. The Steelers fifth ranked passing game will be up against the Broncos eighth ranked pass rush. It’s not looking good for the Steelers 11th ranked running game against the league’s best rush defense. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is 4-0 SU on Monday Night Football and Ben Roethlisberger has a touchdown in seven consecutive games. The Steelers average 23.9ppg and give up 18.4ppg, while they are 1-2 SU on the road where they average 20.7ppg and allow 20ppg. They are 2-5 ATS and 4-3 over/under.

The Broncos (6-1) lost at Baltimore 7-30 in Week 8 and still sit atop the AFC West. QB Kyle Orton made 23 of 37 passes for 152 yards; overall he’s thrown for 1,617 yards with nine TD passes with one interception for a 95.5 passer rating. RB Knowshown Moreno had 10 carries for 39 yards with a TD, while WR Jabar Gaffney made three catches for 43 yards. For the first time as a head coach, Josh McDaniels has to get his team ready to play following a defeat. The Ravens exposed the Broncos offensively with their intermediate passing game and defensively by getting pressure on QB Kyle Orton. The Steelers play a very similar style to the Ravens, so McDaniels has to make some adjustments. The Broncos 16th ranked pass game will go up against the Steelers 16th ranked pass defense while the Broncos 11th ranked running game will go head to head with the best rush defense in the league. As for defense, the Broncos allow a league best amount of yards per-game, while they are eighth best against the pass and third best against the rush. QB Kyle Orton has lost just two home games in his career while Elvis Dumervil leads the AFC with 10 sacks. The Broncos average 20ppg and give up 13.7ppg, while they are 3-0 SU at home where they average 21.3ppg and allow 11ppg. They are 6-1 ATS and 1-6 over/under.
