Week 1 Sunday Night Football Odds
DENVER, CO (The Spread) – Peyton Manning will make his Broncos debut on Sunday Night Football when Denver hosts the Steelers at 8:20PM ET.
PITTSBURGH: The Steelers should once again challenge for a postseason spot but this is a team with plenty of question marks. The offensive line remains a concern, as does the running game with Rashard Mendenhall continuing to rehab from a knee injury. The defense is also getting long in the tooth, although Dick LeBeau always finds a way to be a thorn in opponents’ sides. Plus, Ben Roethlisberger has survived a shaky offensive line for years and he has plenty of weapons now that Mike Wallace is back following a holdout. Pittsburgh will compete for a division title. It’s just what the Steelers do.
