That outcome makes as much sense as the Chiefs at Arrowhead as only a 4 point favorite (which allowing for the traditional 3 point home field home field advantage would mean the teams are regarded as virtually even)

Classic case of Vegas setting the line to attract Chiefs $$$ since the betting public may still think these 2 teams are closely matched and still does not trust Andy Reid & Alex Smith as some believe this is the week the Steelers offense turns it on

i dont kniw guy... maybe thr steelers just don't have it anymore. 99-3 CHEFS

[Mojouw]

The Steelers actually have to forfeit the game prior to the opening kick. As I gaze into my crystal ball, this is what I see:

After watching Ben throw interceptions to the grounds crew and spray passes into the stands during warm-ups the players start getting agitated. Then Haley lets his final play sheet slip into view in the locker room. It is revealed to be a series of hastily copied plays from Tecmo Super Bowl II that appears to be written in crayon on a bar napkin. This causes more anger and grumbling. Tomlin is just about to get things back under control when Deebo asks Porter why he isn't playing this week. Peezy responds that he will sick his dogs on him like he did that mini-horse and Harrison better mind his manners. Harrison launches himself at Porter and his dogs. Before anyone can be horribly maimed, AV and his former Ranger comrades (who are luckily visiting this week - I guess they live in KC?) manage to separate the combatants. In a perhaps related move, both Porter and Harrison retire from the NFL on Monday. On Tuesday they are on a plane to the Middle East to "blitz ISIS from the weak-side". Potentially FAKE NEWS rumors have the two being joined by Kevin Greene and Greg Llyod. Anyway, with some fragile order restored to the locker room - the team readies themselves for the game. Then during the anthem, some guys stand, some guys sit, some guys do warm-up drills, and some guys forget to come out of the locke-room. This causes an angry shouting match and vows to "beat that ass" on all sides. Speculation is that Bell and Bryant were leading a movement, to just kinda "chill-ax" prior to opening kick. It can not be confirmed if the smoke alarms going off in Arrowhead were in any way related. Faced with all this chaos, Tomlin and company attempt to get the team together. They come up just short when it is realized that they can't find a QB. Like any of them. Investigation reveal that Ben R has booked a flight back to Pittsburgh to see his kid using Timmons' travel agent. Landry Jones has been kidnapped by a gang of lumberjacks - they liked his shirt styles. And Dobbs is smart enough to realize he wants no part of any of this and asks for a leave of absence to attempt to qualify as an astronaut.

After an unprecedented forfeiture, the league grants the Steelers 3 roster exemptions and a temporary suspension of the cap in order to sign enough committed players to field a team. At this point my crystal ball gets hazy, but I think I see a certain jacked old man from Mississippi warming up his arm...

a road game at Arrowhead stadium. Talk about worst case scenario for a hopeful bounce back game for Ben .

27-20 Chiefs. Steelers will overachieve

Classic Vegas to suck in the whole country to bet on the Chiefs. Tons of money will be on them this week and that is why Pitt will win.

Will Ben last the first half?

Steelers will win because Vegas makes a profit that way?

He will not get benched unless the game is a Chiefs blowout in the 4th quarter - but it is about time for the seemingly annual Ben injury to occur.

[st33lersguy]

Steelers will keep it close for most of the game and have people believing that maybe they can win this game, before the Chiefs break open the game and go up 2 possessions. The Steelers will do enough to hang around, but not enough to win

[teegre]

Dupree plays his gaps.

With JJ injured, TJ gets 100% of the Watt splash-play solvent dosage for the week (3 sacks, 5 pressures, 1 FF, 1 INT).

Mitchell breaks up a pass.

Bryant is targeted on three passes that aren't bombs or screens, catching all three for crucial first downs.

And... AB is AB (175 yards, 2 TDs).

STEELERS: 31
CHIEFS: 27

[tube517]

Chiefs 33, Steelers 30. Boswell kicks 10 FGs because Ben has a better day but no TDs and can't get a TD in the red zone.

[Lady Steel]

I don't do the score thing, but the Steelers are going to win in KC. Believe!

Steelers re-establish themselves as obvious Super Bowl favorites and kick 33 FGs to win going away:

Steelers 99
Chefs 0

[steel striker]

For some strange reason the Steelers usually show up to play the better teams 34-27 for the good guys.

Hey, you don't know... It could happen!

[SteelMember]

Good googly moogly... Steelers win on a last minute interception that results in a Boswell FG.

[43Hitman]

Steelers win by eleventybillion points.

they sure do. But Ben doesnt when its a road game. And apparently even home games are no longer a sure bet

[FrancoLambert]

The team plays better overall. Ben returns to a better form. Still not enough on the road in a tough stadium.

Plus, the Chiefs have last year's 2 point playoff loss to chew on.

Chiefs 24-17

[SteelMayhem72]

Chiefs 27-10...ben 1 td 2 picks...

Steelers win here. 38-31. (They’ll lose against the Bengals the following game.) Chiefs Kareem Hunt will run for 145 and 2 TDs but the majority of yards will come after the first quarter. Ben will throw 3 TDs, AB with one and a PR TD and Bell will have one TD on 63 yards.

[Shoes]

Kelce is still in concussion protocol, KC fans are talking like they are already in the playoffs and the Steelers absolutely embarrassed themselves Sunday just like last year in the eagles game right before the KC game. Most of KC fans think Ben is done. I'm not sure how I feel about this game.

[lipps83]

Stealers steal a squeaker.

Lmao, they are already worried about bad calls. Welcome to our world KC....

It is a weird line. I thought the Chiefs would be favored by at least 7. And given the state of the Steelers play this season to date I would have given the points. So yeah I get what you're saying. Vegas is begging you to bet the Chiefs. And when that happens in a disproportinate way oddly enough Vegas usually comes out on top?

[tube517]

Week 7 game vs Cincinnati is now a 4:25 game

[j-d-s]

I agree, we win this one but lose against Cincinatti next week. Old Tomlin-esque playing down and up to the level of the competition.

I didn't know that about Kelce. That would be a HUGE loss for them.
