Broncos at Steelers: Odds, trends and more

How to bet the Denver Broncos at Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Steelers might be the most dangerous team in the AFC, and they are not even in the playoff picture at the moment. Despite being 8-5, Pittsburgh is sitting seventh behind the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets, who are both 8-5 but win the tiebreaker.

Meanwhile Denver is 10-3 but playing with an anemic offense and a bad quarterback. The Broncos can’t score a point, something that was brutally evident in a 15-12 loss to the Oakland Raiders last week. This Sunday, the Steelers are getting plenty of love from Vegas, which is installing Pittsburgh as a seven-point favorite at Heinz Field, per OddsShark. The OVER/UNDER is 44.5.

The Steelers are playing great football behind an offense featuring Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant and Heath Miller. On the other side, the Broncos have the best defense in the league but an offense that struggled sot generate a first down.

Should the Broncos win and the Chiefs lost at Baltimore, they would clinch a fifth straight AFC West title. For Pittsburgh, a victory would keep them alive in the AFC North.

Ad for trends, the UNDER is actually the right bet. Pittsburgh has gone UNDER in four of its last six home games, while Denver has seen the total go UNDER in four of the previous six road affairs. One note, the Broncos are 2-4 against the spread in its last half-dozen games.
