    The over under might not be double digits.

    I have this Saints @ Seahawks feeling from 2011.

    Denver won't score a TD

    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.

    Why? Give me one legitimate reason.

    Geographic location shouldn't trump victories.

    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.

    When will the game day/time/network be announced?

    probably during the primetime game, around halftime

    Why bother with Wild Cards in a 4 division format? Just take the winners and have 4 team playoff.
  • Non
    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.
  • Non
    Lions/Saints though is a fun matchup, too with the offenses

    I'd rather the Steelers play Sunday, getting the full week rest

    The NFL says so and the Players association signed off on it.

    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.

    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.

    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

    That's not a legitimate reason for why it should be done. That's just saying it's the rule because it's the rule.
