Steelers vs Chiefs Preview

Reasons The Steelers Could Win

• Antonio Brown is insane. He won the game for the Steelers in the first quarter last week. 
• Bell is also the best back in the league and the Chiefs have a weak run defense without D. Johnson. 
• This could turn into a shootout, similar to the 2003 no punt game against the Colts. If the Steelers are at their best, Chiefs could have trouble keeping up with them. 
• Early turnovers doomed the Chiefs in their first matchup. 
• Steelers defense looked better against Miami than they played throughout the season. 

Reasons The Chiefs Could Win

• Big Ben hasn't played as well on the road and Chiefs secondary is good at getting interceptions. 
• When Justin Houston was healthy in the game in Denver, he singlehandedly changed the game. If he plays like that, it could disrupt everything. 
• Tyreek Hill can break a touchdown from anywhere on the field. Even if you don't punt to him, you could be sacrificing field position consistently. Also, as was the case in the Raiders TD return, if you plan on kicking it to one corner and mishit a punt and it goes to the middle/other side, Tyreek can take advantage of the coverage being on the other side. 
• The Chiefs were embarrassed earlier this year in Pittsburgh. They could be extra fired up to avenge that loss. 
• Alex Smith turns it up a notch in the playoffs. He's been playing pretty well down the stretch. 
• Between Kelce, Maclin, and Hill, the Chiefs actually have a nice receiving crew now. You can't take everybody away. 
• The Steelers have been riding in a winning streak, but that also takes a lot out on you. They're a little banged up, they might be out of juice. 
• The Steelers have the better offensive superstars, but Chiefs should have the advantage on defense and special teams. A special teams big play could turn this game. 
• Turnovers. Chiefs lost that game in Pittsburgh because they turned the ball over. If they can force a turnover instead, Chiefs should feel good. 
• Andy Reid is really good after the bye week. 
• On a completely personal note, I just won the first fantasy league of my life. Before the season started, I put a futures bet on the Chiefs to win the AFC for the first time. I just moved to Kansas City. If you believe in things lining up and making a great story, seems like the Chiefs can't end their season here.
