Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4, 7-9 ATS) will start their journey towards winning the AFC in back-to-back seasons when they battle Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos (8-8, 7-9 ATS) on the NFL playoff odds on Sunday, January 8, 2012; kick-off from Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium is set to go live on CBS at 4:30 ET.

After a one year hiatus from the post season, the Steelers will attempt to win three straight games to once again claim the AFC and punch their ticket to the Super Bowl for the second season in a row. Pittsburgh matched its 12-4 SU regular season effort from 2010-11 by once again tallying 12 wins this season. However, head coach Mike Tomlin’s bunch weren’t as nice to NFL bettors this time around managing to cover just seven of their 16 lined games after going a lucrative 9-6-1 ATS in the regular season a year ago. The club was a winning squad away from Heinz Field (5-3 SU), but enters this NFL playoff odds spot just 2-6 against the closing number as a visitor.

Pittsburgh will also be shorthanded here and a bit on the gimpy side – Big Ben, LaMarr Woodley, and Troy Polamalu are all still suffering from injuries, while Ryan Clark will be held out of this one due to health concerns; stud RB Rashard Mendenhall was also lost for the postseason last week after tearing his ACL in Cleveland last week. In case you don’t follow the Steelers closely, know this – every name just listed is an impact player and Pittsburgh’s overall effectiveness won’t be nearly as good with them all faltering. Still, the Steelers are an extremely well coached bunch on both sides of the ball that can beat the lesser teams in this league when not 100 percent.

A tip of the cap must go in the direction of GM John Elway and Coach John Fox for getting the Broncos into the second season a year removed from a 4-12 campaign. Early on, it looked like Denver was going to once again earn a top draft pick winning just one of its first five games, but then ‘Tebow Power’ took over and the Broncos caught a few breaks along the way in qualifying for this NFL playoff betting odds tussle with the yellow and black.

We’ve seen the good. We’ve seen the bad. If only Denver can get a mixture of both and not be so heavily one sided towards the latter in this game, they could possibly pull the shocker. If they exhibit the same type of play they put forth against New England, Buffalo, and Kansas City to close the regular season, this one could get ugly in a hurry. However, if they stick to the plan of leaning on its top ranked running game (#1 at 164.5 YPG) and put Tebow into more favorable situations on 3rd down, this could end up being one of the more entertaining games of the weekend. Denver went 3-5 SU & a woeful 1-7 ATS as a host this season, but these are the most amount of points they’ve received from oddsmakers to date.

NFL Playoff Odds Pick – The Steelers showed a penchant for playing down to their opposition this season, as they struggled to put the Colts away at Indy back in Week 3, failed to cover at home against Jacksonville after building a 17-0 lead, couldn’t solve the riddle that was Tyler Palko in his 2nd career start at KC, and struggled both times they took on the four-win Browns. If that ‘MO’ holds up here, Tebow’s Magic could get the best of them. With the Broncos 5-1 ATS their L/6 home playoff games, and the Steelers just 2-7 ATS their L/9 on the road, take the points with the home team and expect an ugly low scoring closely contested battle the whole way through.
