The over under might not be double digits.
I have this Saints @ Seahawks feeling from 2011.

Tebow is in for a long game! If BigBen takes care of the ball against a solid Bronco D the Steelers win.

I posted it on the Browns game thread, but it's bullshit that this game is in Denver. Rewarding a team for where they play rather than for winning games is stupid.
If you want to have division winners get auto-bids, fine. But auto home games? Awful.

If Ben can get to 80-85% this week and we can throw downfield, that is a definite advantage. Scoring quickly.

Hopefully Ben is healthier next weekend. Tebow magic worries me but stopping McGahee would go a long way in winning this game IMO. It's hard to imagine Tebow bombing on the Steeler D for the win but you never know.

I think Pittsburgh is better, but they sure did look bad today. I will take the Fighting Tebows 9-7.

If your the better team it should not matter. Division winners should get Home field in the first round.Mulva;1034113 wrote:I posted it on the Browns game thread, but it's bullshit that this game is in Denver. Rewarding a team for where they play rather than for winning games is stupid.

Broncos win. Upset.
Steelers have stunk on the road. They'll struggle with Dumervil and Miller, if he's healthy.
Broncos 13-10

But it does. Sucks for the Steelers this year but worked out for them in Tomlin's first season.

Pittsburgh/Denver should be Saturday night unless they pick Dallas for that game but they won't know if Dallas is in, making Pittsburgh/Denver more likely.

Lions/Saints though is a fun matchup, too with the offenses
I'd rather the Steelers play Sunday, getting the full week rest

Which day does FOX have next week, do they announce that much of it at least? Regardless of who wins, DAL or NYG, they will make it the FOX NFC game to Joe Buck can deep throat whichever of those 2 teams. If FOX has the night that gets the primetime game (Saturday), it'll be in primetime. They only play at 1 and 4 on Sunday.Non;1034187 wrote:Pittsburgh/Denver should be Saturday night unless they pick Dallas for that game but they won't know if Dallas is in, making Pittsburgh/Denver more likely.
Last year NBC had a Saturday doubleheader (NFC 4:00, AFC 8:00), FOX (NFC 4:00) and CBS (AFC 1:00) went Sunday afternoon
DET/ATL will be the NBC one guaranteed.

Tomlin said Mendenhall could have torn ACL
Steelers may need to pick up a running back
only Redman and Clay if Moore can't play

NBC has both Saturday games...one at 4:30 and one at 8 p.m.ts1227;1034194 wrote:Which day does FOX have next week, do they announce that much of it at least?

CBS and Fox each have a game on Sunday
both conferences can't play on the same day
I think NBC gets first dibs on the primetime game, but I could be wrong about that
