Kansas City is a 1-point home favorite at Arrowhead Stadium at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The AFC No. 2-seeded Chiefs are 11-2 SU in their last 13 games at home per the OddsShark NFL Database.
After falling to 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS this season on the heels of a 43-14 road loss to the Steelers, the Chiefs used their bye week to regroup and emerge as one of the top teams in the NFL.
Kansas City went 10-2 SU and 8-4 ATS over its last 12 games, including a 5-1 SU and ATS run to end the season that propelled the Chiefs into the No. 2 spot over the Oakland Raiders as the AFC West champions. The Chiefs averaged 27.8 points per game over that six-game stretch.
Teams coached by Andy Reid are 16-2 SU and 13-5 ATS coming off a bye week in the regular season and 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS coming off a first-round bye in the postseason.
Betting Line / Total: Kansas City -1.5 / 44 Points
Trend: The Chiefs are 1-9 SU and ATS in their last 10 games in the playoffs.
Trend: The Steelers are 8-0 SU and 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight games.
The Miami Dolphins had no answer for Pittsburgh last Sunday, as the Steelers rolled to a 30-12 victory as 11.5-point favorites at home. The Steelers improved to 8-0 SU and 6-1-1 ATS over their last eight games with the win, scoring at least 24 points for the ninth straight game in the process.
Antonio Brown caught five passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns, and Le’Veon Bell rushed for 167 yards and two scores, highlighting just how dangerous this offense can be. Pittsburgh is 1-3 SU and 0-4 ATS in its last four games against the Chiefs.
Sunday’s total is set at 44 points. The UNDER is 4-1 in the last five games between these two teams.
As indicated by the spread, this may be the most evenly-matched and toughest game to call on the board this week. Pittsburgh’s offense is a matchup nightmare for anyone, but the Chiefs have had an extra week to prepare for it and will have a fired up home crowd behind them in this one.
