NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take the under. Everyone expects this game to be low-scoring and it should be. In the biggest game of their season, the Broncos managed just one field goal against an underrated, but certainly beatable Kansas City team. Tim Tebow has been horrendous the past two weeks and he won’t fair much better today against Dick LeBeau’s defense. The Steelers aren’t exactly firing on all cylinders offensively either. While Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown provide Pittsburgh an advantage in the passing game, Ben Roethliberger’s ankle is still sore and losing Rashard Mendenhall to a season-ending knee injury hurt as well. According to latest NFL trends, the under is 6-0 in the Steelers’ last six games overall and 4-0 in their last four games versus the AFC.
