The Broncos are going to get schooled by the Steelers. Both teams are coming off of a bye, but the Steelers are healthy (ward, holmes, polamalu) and a solid team. You have a second year QB throwing to a bunch of relative no-names with your star WR going out for 1 month+ with surgery.
On the other hand, you have Detroit also coming off a bye and slaughtering by the Redskins, taking on TB which has lost two running backs. Detroit's defense gets takeaways and their passing game is potent with Calvin Johnson getting a week off to mend a bit. The game is going to be a blowout allowing Kevin Jones to run down the clock. Not to mention, he has played three games and while yardage has been mediocre, he has scored two TDs.
Look, I take a situational approach to who I start and sit and IMHO, Detroit has more upside against TB than Denver has against Pitt.
