*10* ANNIHILATOR on Denver Broncos.

The Pittsburgh Steelers come limping into Denver, and they could be in big trouble without Antonio Brown and DeAngelo Williams. The Broncos are well rested, with Peyton Manning back under center, and there's every reason to expect the home team to win in a route.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Big Ben - Roethlisberger is expected to start, but he suffered a separated shoulder in last week's win over Cincinnati. He's struggled in his recent weeks, throwing as many picks (7) as touchdowns in his last five starts. His numbers on the road this year are nothing to write home about. He's thrown for five TDs with nine INTs while going 3-3 in six starts on the road.

2. Broncos Defense - Denver owns the league's top ranked defense, and it was the only team in the NFL to allow opponents to average less than 200 passing yards per game. The Broncos also led the league with 52 sacks.

3. X-Factor - The Steelers are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 playoff road games.
