Steelers (12-4) at Broncos (8-8), 1:30 p.m. Channel: 5 Channel: 13 Channel: 46
Line: Steelers by 8 1/2
The important stuff: Hide the kids and the dog and pour another shot into the blender. This one is going to be scary ugly. ... Pittsburgh won't have running back Rashard Mendenhall (knee injury), safety Ryan Clark (sickle cell disease) and probably not center Maurkice Pouncey (ankle). ... Denver, which has lost three straight,will have quarterback Tim Tebow (passing skills), who completed 46.5 percent this season. ... Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is 10-3 in the playoffs, 3-0 on the road, but is still limping around with that ankle injury. ... I can't believe I am typing this but ...
Prediction: Broncos, 19-17

I love the sarcasm of Vittorio Tafur. He uses ( ) for causes of injuries and then writes (passing skills) to indicate the lack of them on the part of uninjured Tim Tibow. Note also the parallelism between "Steelers won't have... and Broncos will have...." to set up and hightlight the similarity/contrast"
