All Hands on Deck For Pittsburgh
It is very clear that this is the last season for Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. But he is not going to go out quietly and his teammates are making sure of it. Big names are healing up at the right time to join Big Ben on the field for the big game against the Chiefs.

But will it be enough?
The Steelers will be happy to get players back, but it may not be enough. After all they are 2-6-2 against the spread (ATS) in the last 10 playoff games. That number gets even worse on the road (1-4-2 ATS). But, teams find ways to get up in big moments and it does not get any bigger than Big Ben’s last game.
Not the Same Chiefs
In the past the Chiefs have been all about offense. Patrick Mahomes has led a flashy big score offense, but this year is different. They are playing defense and winning low-scoring games. The Chiefs are 4-0 ATS in the last four home games and 6-2 ATS in the last eight games overall.

The Chiefs get out to quick starts and the Steelers do not. The Steelers are just 6-11 ATS in the first half of games this season. That means that the Chiefs will get an early lead and that will let the defense focus on bringing down Ben. The last time these teams met, the Chiefs had 16 players that were in COVID-19 protocols, this includes key players like Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill. That will change for this game at home and the Chiefs will blow out the Steelers.
