Writer’s Pick for the Chiefs vs Steelers Game Starting Sunday’s Round of Action

Kansas City at Pittsburgh – The Stakes

Heading into the final two weeks of the 2024 NFL Regular Season, the Kansas City Chiefs have a 2-game lead over the Buffalo Bills for the top seed and first round playoff bye.

But KC can’t wrest on their laurels because the Bills own the tiebreaker after handing Kansas City their only loss of the season.

For playoff bound Pittsburgh, a win takes them a step closer to the division title.

The Steelers are tied with the Baltimore Ravens at 10-5.

If Pittsburgh wins the AFC North, they will host a playoff game in the first round.

If not, the Steelers must travel in their first round game.

So like KC, Pittsburgh has a lot at stake in this Christmas Day matchup.

Key to a Chiefs Victory

Mahomes has been unreal in the Chiefs’ last 5 games, all wins.

The Magic One has an awesome 8 touchdowns to 0 interceptions TD-INT ratio.

So the key for the Chiefs is for Mahomes to continue to play lights out.

If Patrick can do that, then running lanes should open for both Kareem Hunt and the healthy Isaiah Pacheco.

Andy Reid has begun to fold Pacheco back into the playbook, meaning with every game Isaiah gets more looks.

Pacheco is the better pass catcher of the pair.

So we should expect Mahomes to target Pacheco in the passing game as well handing it off to talented back.

KC’s defense will have to contain Russell Wilson to George Pickens.

The Steelers’ to wideout has missed Pittsburgh’s last 3 games but was a full participant in practice on Monday.

Key to a Steelers Win

The Chiefs are excellent at stopping the rush, which means Najee Harris must do just enough to keep KC’s defense on their toes.

Harris doesn’t have to have a massive game.

He does need to be a threat throughout the entirety of the matchup.

If Harris can keep the Kansas City defense occupied, Russell Wilson can sling the ball to his favorite target, WR George Pickens.

Pickens and Wilson were rolling until GP suffered an injury.

Since heading to the sidelines, the Steelers have gone 1-2 SU.

So Pickens’s return to action is paramount to Pittsburgh’s success versus Kansas City.

The KC Chiefs are poised to secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs but face a tough team in the Steelers on Wednesday.

The issue for Pittsburgh has been to get the passing attack going with Pickens on the bench.

Pickens will suit up on Wednesday, which means Russell Wilson should have a decent game.

What’s also interesting is that the Chiefs don’t always play well on the road.

For sure, KC looked good against C.J. Stroud and the Texans but a few weeks ago, the Carolina Panthers almost upset the Chiefs in a 30-27 KC victory.

Speaking of which, this could end up much more high scoring than many believe.

With Pickens on the field, Pittsburgh plays faster.

Expect the Steelers to score the straight up victory in a game that approaches a 50 total.

NFL ML Pick: Steelers +136
NFL Total Pick: Over 44.5
