4* Free Week 2 NFL Betting Prediction: Denver +3
Our pick vs. the spread in this Broncos vs. Steelers matchup is to take the Broncos to cover as home underdogs. The point spread lines have the Broncos at +3, and we have them winning 17-14, making them a great pick to cover at home.
For this week two matchup, we have a lean towards the under, with the O/U line sitting at 36.5 points.
We have the total at 33.
Here’s the deal: Pittsburgh’s defense is on fire, and Denver is still finding its rhythm under pressure. With Pittsburgh’s D locking down Atlanta last week, expect more of the same against a Broncos team that’s yet to hit its stride.
The under looks juicy here, and with both teams likely to grind it out, don’t be surprised if they combine for under 36 points. Take the Broncs to cover and hit the under!
This one’s shaping up to be a classic defensive battle in the thin air of Denver!
