Pittsburgh Steelers @ Kansas City Chiefs Sunday Night Football Pick

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Kansas City Chiefs Sunday Night Football Pick: The Chiefs with Tyler Palko in what is probably his last start of the season look to upend the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. The Chiefs have pretty much lost everything great about their football team with Jamaal Charles and Eric Berry going down early in the season. Now with Cassel out and more guys beat up, the Chiefs get to host a tough Steelers team.

I know the Chiefs are usually very solid at home, a tough out for sure, but the Steelers are coming off a big win against Cincinnati and a bye-week to rest. They’ve gone 5-1 over their last 6 games and their only lost came on a last minute touchdown pass by Joe Flacco in a 20-23 loss to Baltimore. They’ve been playing their best football of the season as they walked into their bye week to heal up. The Chiefs were embarrassed last week on Monday Night Football when the Patriots carved them up. For reward they get a short week battle with that rested Steeler squad… Lucky!

The Steelers should look to run the ball more in KC. Holding the ball for long stretches and eating up close will be a good way to walk away with an easy win. I expect them to slowly build a lead and keep the Chiefs at bay throughout.
