Last week, I harped on how the Chargers have been unable to solve the Chiefs with Andy Reid and despite adding a couple nice pieces, overall, it was the same core of players that can never get the job done. If this game were in Week 8, I’d pick the Chiefs to win in Pittsburgh for the first time since 1986. The Chiefs will score more than they typically have against the Steelers during the Andy Reid era, but it’s tough for me to believe that the defense is yet ready to stand up against the Steelers offensive attack - even without Le’Veon Bell. Quite simply, this is going to be a tough row to hoe for the Chiefs. Also, Primanti Bros sandwiches are terrible. Bridges are cool, but not as cool as fountains. I enjoy the Steel City and I’ve been a part of a lot of matchups with Steelers over 12 years, but don’t remember ever winning a regular-season game there. Chiefs’ pass protection has to be ready for zone blitz packages and double-A pressure by the Steelers’ inside linebackers. Patrick Mahomes’ mobility will play a big factor with pass rushers JJ Watt and Bud Dupree coming off the edges.Ħ. Steelers Stadium is tough on the kicking game due to unpredictable crosswinds.ĥ. This should keep the CHEETAH on the prowl.Ĥ. Even Without Le’Veon Bell, the Steelers Rushing attack is an extension of coach Mike Tomlin’s attitude and desire for toughness.

Let’s get to the staff predictions: WynnBET Promo: Bet $1, Win $100 if any NFL or college football team scores. We have Pittsburgh losing in the Wild Card round with a final score of 29-17. The Steelers will need to hold the Chiefs under 30 to even give themselves a shot in this one, but we don’t see the offense doing enough to compete with one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh scored just 19.8 points per game over this span and had just one 30-point game in the entire 2021 season.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have scored a whopping 35.4 points per game over their final five contests of the regular season. After getting blown out, I’m hoping Mike Tomlin makes some major adjustments, but there’s only so much you can do when you’re grossly outmatched in terms of talent on offense. However, Pittsburgh failed to even keep this game within three scores. I was hoping to see the Steelers fare much better the last time these two teams played in Week 16. Steelers vs Chiefs Prediction Wild Card round The over/under point total for this game is set at 46.5. Pittsburgh has a moneyline of +500 while the Chiefs are favorites at -700. This is the largest spread of any game in the playoffs. The Wild Card round betting odds on WynnBET have the Steelers as 13.0-point underdogs to begin the week. Steelers vs Chiefs Odds for Wild Card round The team will be counting on a great defensive performance and a strong showing from Ben Roethlisberger to stand a chance in this one. The Chiefs are 9-1 in their last 10 games, and the last time they faced Pittsburgh, the Steelers were trounced in a 36-10 beatdown. Unfortunately, Mike Tomlin’s team gets the most daunting matchup in playoffs as his team travels to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Prior to the season finale, their chances were remarkably slim as they relied on a rare Jaguars win to boost them into the tournament. Here are their odds and prediction vs Chiefs in the Wild Card round.įans around the nation are no doubt still in awe of the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to get into the playoffs. The Pittsburgh Steelers snuck into the playoffs as the final seed in the AFC.
