Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Denver Broncos 2018: Prediction, Betting Odds, Injury News For Week 12 Matchup
The Pittsburgh Steelers are still in the hunt for home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs but will be tested on the road in Week 12 when they visit the Denver Broncos at Mile High.
The Steelers have been strong on the road, boasting a 4-0-1 record. The Broncos are just 2-3 at home.
Most oddsmakers have the Steelers favored by 3 points, while others have them at 3.5 points. Most casinos have the over/under at 46.5 points.
The Broncos are coming off a big road win over the surging Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Kicker Brandon McManus converted a 34-yard field goal as time expired to lift Denver to a 23-22 win and snap the Chargers' six-game winning streak.
The Steelers are also riding a six-game winning streak ahead of their meeting with the Broncos. Mike Tomlin's squad managed to earn a road win against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, 20-16.
Pittsburgh will be without defensive end Stephon Tuitt (elbow), while the offensive line will be without Marcus Gilbert, who is nursing a knee injury and with right tackle Matt Feiler listed as questionable with a pectoral injury.
Feiler reportedly remains unsure of his status, though he said he is feeling good. Rookie Chukwuma Okorafor is expected to fill in for Feiler should he miss Sunday's game.
The Broncos will be thin on defense, as middle linebacker Brandon Marshall, who has missed the last two games, is still out with a knee injury and safety Dymonte Thomas is sidelined with an ankle injury.
Cornerback Bradley Roby is listed as questionable with a concussion, but head coach Vance Joseph said Roby "passed the protocol so he should be fine to go on Sunday." Roby's presence will be needed, as the Steelers boast one of the most dynamic receivers in the league, Antonio Brown.
Defensive end Shelby Harris did not practice on Friday but will play Sunday.
The weather at kickoff time is expected to be about 41 degrees with winds at 7 miles per hour, according to AccuWeather.com.
Prediction: Steelers over Broncos, 28-17
