=14.0ptThe defending champion, Kansas City Chiefs, have been sneaking by almost weekly on their way to a 14-1 record to this point in the season. Their lone loss came on the road to the Buffalo Bills over 6 weeks ago by the score of 30-21. In the loss, the Chiefs were held to just under 260 yards of total offense and committed 2 turnovers. Defensively, they gave up over 360 yards of total offense and allowed Josh Allen to tear them up both through the air and on the ground. He led the team in rushing with 55 yards and scored 1 of his 3 touchdowns on the ground. On Christmas Day, these Chiefs head to Pittsburgh to take on the 10-5 Steelers. Russell Wilson is certainly not at the caliber of Josh Allen, but he has been playing tremendously this season. However, his Steelers have lost 3 of their last 5 games, including their last 2 to Philadelphia and Baltimore. In their losses, the Steelers are averaging just over 16ppg. If they are going to give the Chiefs their 2nd loss of the season, they will likely need to put up more points than they have been averaging.

Pittsburgh Steelers - Kansas City Chiefs: Form Analysis

The Chiefs are currently 11th in scoring and 3rd in the league in points allowed per game. However, the most impressive stats on the year for these Chiefs are their ability to covert on 3rd down which is 1st in the league (51%). That has gone hand in hand with their ability to dominate time of possession which is 2nd in the league. For the Steelers, they have been reliant on their run game for most of the season. They rank 11th in the league with 126 yards per game. Between their run game and the defense hunkering down and holding opponents to just under 20ppg has been their recipe for success.

Pittsburgh Steelers & Kansas City Chiefs Squad Analysis

=14.0ptIn terms of injuries and general health, the Chiefs have their concern with star QB, Patrick Mahomes, who is dealing with an ankle injury. The other concern is on the other side of the ball where Chris Jones is dealing with a calf injury. For the Steelers, George Pickens is still nursing a hamstring injury while Joey Porter Jr picked up a knee injury in their game against Baltimore last Saturday. With the short turnaround, these injuries are all to be kept an eye on.

Our Pittsburgh Steelers vs Kansas City Chiefs Prediction

=14.0ptThe Steelers have been struggling while these Chiefs have been continuously sliding past opponents that they should have dropped games to. We believe this is where the luck of the Chiefs runs out. Mahomes on a short week on the road in frigid Pittsburgh is going to be too difficult to overcome. We believe the Steelers will have success running the ball and control the time of possession in this matchup.
