Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Denver Broncos Best bets: Odds, predictions, player news, injury updates, and stats
This was supposed to be Russell Wilson’s glorious return to Denver…but his problematic calf is expected to sideline him again this week. That leaves Justin Fields under center for the Steelers (1-0) as they take on Bo Nix and the Broncos (0-1) Sunday afternoon.
Both Nix and Fields struggled to sustain drives for the Broncos and the Steelers respectively in Week 1. Each will have to be more than a little better if their respective team is to leave the field victorious on Sunday.
In addition to the obvious storyline of the quarterbacks, additional plot lines include:
- Pittsburgh’s ability to run the ball against the underrated defensive line of the Broncos.
- George Pickens vs. Patrick Surtain
- Denver’s offensive line vs. TJ Watt

New report finds Denver metro home buyers and sellers experiencing ‘unattainability fatigue’
Higher mortgage rates are discouraging buyers and sellers, and slowing market activity along the way across the Denver metro, according to a Denver Metro Association of Realtors May market trends report.
“There’s a lot of fatigue going on, and specifically due to interest rates, Denver has seen a pretty typical 6% average price appreciation, but the last couple of years it’s been relatively flat. However, that’s just kind of made up for the fact that during the pandemic we saw huge appreciation gains,” said Heather O’Leary, a realtor and a member of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors market trends committee.

New report finds Denver metro home buyers and sellers experiencing ‘unattainability fatigue’
O’Leary said from May 2017 to May 2026, the median sale price grew from $382,000 to $615,000, a 6% average annual increase that mirrors the market’s long-run historical norm.
“A median home in the Denver metro area could cost 87% more than it did in 2020 and so buyers are exhausted. That’s where we get the term affordability or unattainability fatigue, because it’s just difficult for them to jump into something. And then sellers are honestly exhausted as well, because they don’t want to have to drop their prices,” O’Leary said.
According to the report, closed sales fell nearly 7% year-over-year, attached-home sales dropped almost 18%, and new listings declined more than 17%.
However, the report found the luxury market is outperforming the broader market.
“Luxury buyers are definitely less affected by interest rates, and we’ve seen 3.1% increase year-over-year in pending sales, and about 5% in closed sales, and that’s really because luxury buyers are less affected by interest rates, because they have more flexibility, potentially more cash and equity in a home,” O’Leary said.
The DMAR Market Trends Committee releases reports monthly, including data for Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson and Park counties.
