PITTSBURGH AT DENVER
Down to four teams now, and not many can argue that they aren't the best teams in football.............Even though the Steelers went through a spell there where they nearly failed to even qualify for a wild-card spot, you get the feeling that Bill Cowher and his staff always had things under control......they knew that as soon as they got healthy again, they could compete and beat the best......Well, they've been there, done that, and now find themselves in a position to get back to the big game for the first time in 10 years......The only problem is that the road goes through Denver.
I've ranted on this forum for the past couple of weeks about how important that is because of the altitude and serious home-field advantage Denver enjoys.......Even though the Steelers are playing with the utmost confidence and brutal hitting football on both sides of the field, I just feel that they have too much to overcome in this contest.
I don't think we've seen Denver's best yet, and many seem to forget how close this team came to being 15-1 during the regular season.......Their speed is unmatched with guys like Tatum Bell and Ashlie Lelie, Rod Smith is more than window dressing and Mike Anderson puts the candle on the cake........The defense has gone unheralded this season but you ain't gonna find a better defensive captain than Champ "101 yard interception for no touchdown" Bailey.
I was a little disturbed when the line opened so low, but let's face it, the Broncos have pretty much gone unnoticed and haven't gotten the respect they deserve all year.....Hence I think it all makes sense.....Takin' the Broncos minus the 3-spot, playing a moneyline parlay to the next game......Also playing the over on this one just to make it interesting........DENVER 31.....PITTSBURGH 21.
CAROLINA AT SEATTLE
On this one I'll be brief......Simply put, Seattle has more AND better weapons......With no DeShaun Foster, the Panthers will struggle once the Seahawks key on Steve Smith......Not to sound redundant, but home-field is huge here also.......I like this game a whole lot more than the early one, and will be putting all of my eggs in one basket here........Will go huge on Seattle here minus the 3 1/2, hook them up with Denver in a moneyline parlay, and throw in the UNDER just for kicks while I'm hopin for something like....SEATTLE 24.......CAROLINA 13.
Pay the rent first and best of luck to all of my fellow players.
