Matchup dilema

[Eskimo Brother]

Standard Yahoo fantasy pool, my two team defences are playing each other this week. Any bets on the Broncos/Steelers game and input on which would be the better play?

[Goldendelicious]

I'd play the Steelers D over the Broncos...my main reasoning being:
1) Game is in PIT, so Denver is traveling cross-time zones
2) Denver's offense not as big a threat as Pitt's, especially on the road
3) Pitt's D has been fairly good from a fantasy perspective this season.
4) Defenses generally play better at home than on the road
5) Broncos' D hasn't been the superior unit it was to start the season outside of a trampling of the abysmal Chargers

I actually agree here.. Denver will get some sacks, but PIT special teams could get a return TD..

Denver is #1 overall for fantasy, but Goldendelicious is correct in that they have started hotter than they're finishing. Over the last four weeks PIT D is definitely trending better especially in the INT cat, and with an iffy Osweiler under center a pick-six is not unthinkable. Go with the hotter defense playing at home - PIT.
