Denver Broncos vs Pittsburgh Steelers
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Denver Broncos vs Pittsburgh Steelers is an all-AFC matchup with seeding on the line. Our model leans Denver Broncos's way (69% to 31%, DEN -2.5), but Pittsburgh Steelers are live enough to make it interesting.
Tactically, Denver Broncos will want to lean on stingy defense to attack Pittsburgh Steelers, whose offensive line is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Pittsburgh Steelers's physical defense could punish Denver Broncos if run game goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.
Keep an eye on Bo Nix (QB) and DK Metcalf (WR): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Broncos at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
