    DENVER (KDVR) — It isn’t the matchup everyone in Broncos Country wanted.

    Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is doubtful, in what would be a ruckus return to the Mile High City to face the Denver Broncos .

    So, will the Denver Broncos get their first win of the season at home against the Steelers?

    Here are predictions from FOX31’s Orange and Blue Report team:

    Arran Andersen: Steelers 20-9: “I think the Steelers will win this game. It’s going to be a rock fight. It’s going to be a defensive struggle.”

    Amanda Ferguson: Steelers 17-10: “Bo Nix and the Broncos gave us some hope down the stretch when Nix ran in a touchdown to make it a one-score game in Seattle.

    But the Steelers defense is terrifying, and their offense didn’t need to do much to win their opener in Atlanta. Plus, Justin Fields plays really well against the Broncos. He does it again on Sunday. In a low-scoring game, I’m taking the Steelers.”

    Bruce Haertl: Steelers 20-17: “I just don’t think – until I see more of the running game develop consistently for the Broncos – I can take them. Especially against a defense like the Steelers, that I think is better than the one they faced a week ago in Seattle. Even playing at home, I don’t think it’s going to be a cure for all.”

    Myck Miller: Steelers 17-13: “All the drama of this matchup has been taken out as a result of Russell Wilson not suiting up. Well, let’s be honest, he’ll probably suit up, but will not start for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So, even without Wilson, I still got Pittsburgh beating the Denver Broncos.”

    Brandon Stokley: Broncos 16-13: “I think it’s going to be one of those old school, field position type of games. I look at this thing as a low-score football game. I got the Broncos finding a way to get it done. Will Lutz walk off field goal. Broncos win this thing 16 to 13 and they go to one-and-one on the season.”
