Broncos-Steelers and Week 2 Picks

The Broncos suffered a tough loss at Seattle in Week 1 26-20. Bo Nix looked like a rookie QB who was starting his first game on the road. Seattle did a nice job of pressuring Nix and forced him into two costly interceptions. Denver held a 13-9 lead at the half (including two safeties in the first half), but their defense got worn down in the second half and the Seahawks basically pulled away. Now, Denver heads home for its home opener against the Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense is better than Seattle's and I think this will be a very difficult spot for Nix and the Broncos offense once again.

Prediction: Pittsburgh (-3) over DENVER

Final Score: Steelers-20 Broncos-6
