DCOrange Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I would be very shocked. Even if Mahomes gets hurt, I think KC likely beats Pittsburgh with Henne at QB. 1 Quote
dpberr Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 This game will be close. Chiefs are a fragile team - they are like the Bills - punch them in the face first and they have a hard time recovering. You can run *and* pass on that defense, and their OL is down Niang. If the Steelers can escape the first quarter without a double digit deficit, they are in business. His receivers need to catch the ball. Their dropsies are a killer. Quote

If Hebert and the Chargers were that good they would have beaten a "bad" Raiders team in a win and get in game (took a miracle just to get to OT), and they wouldn't have gotten blown out by the Texans and Broncos... Yes the Steelers stink, so do the chargers 1 hour ago, prissythecat said: This. If Pitt can barely beat a badly hobbled Ravens team , it doesn’t bode well for them going against a mostly full strength KC team that already smoked this season . Pittsburgh beat the Ravens by more points than the Packers and Rams combined.... 1 Quote
Patrick Duffy Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) It's certainly possible, but doubtful. Never know in the NFL and much crazier has happened. I hope they can somehow pull the upset, but I'd be very surprised Edited January 12, 2022 by Sheneneh Jenkins Quote
Bruce Smith Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I think Pitts will beat KC this time. Quote
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Big Ben will be motivated to make good on getting an unexpected opportunity to erase the arguably worst game played all year, and I’m sure the team will similarly want to rally around that—so yeah, in a league where the worst and the best are separated by just a few plays per game, I like the Steelers to surprise a few people.

Zerovoltz Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I think the Chiefs and Bills both got very very favorable wild card matchups. I am wondering about the weather in Buffalo, but I do believe you'll beat down the PATS, setting up a division round matchup of BUG VS KC. I believe the winner goes to the Super Bowl. I think there is a small chance the Raiders win in Cincy. ....and then a better chance the Raiders win in Nashville. the Raiders D line is a bad matchup for BOTH those teams but, not for KC and not so bad for the Bills either. I predict Buffalo VS KC for the right to HOST the AFCCG. I just don't see the Titans getting it done. 1 Quote
First Round Bust Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 yes cuz denver almost did and would have if they had not fumbled deep in KC territory which resulted in a TD return by the KC defense and was the difference in a close game...further had Den won Bills and KC would have been tied in standing and Bills win tiebreaker based on head-to-head play - but alas...but possible not likely Quote

The Bengals can certainly go into TEN and beat the Titans. I could see the winner of BUF-KC hosting the AFCCG assuming they both win this weekend. Quote
gordong Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 1%. and that's being nice.....Pittsburgh is not good. Quote

I’m not liking our chances of going to KC and Tenn back 2 back weeks and winning. the Steelers are playing with house money. Big Ben is playing with some magic as he finishes his swan song season. TJ watt is a beast and is finally heathy again. Pitt got curb- stomped at KC a few weeks ago and it’s tough to beat the same team twice like that. KC might be overlooking them. With that said, any hope Pitt can take down KC? No. Quote

The Chiefs are going to roll over a very mediocre Steelers team 38-13. Bye Bye Big Ben. Go away. And we will see you in Canton in about 5-6 years. Quote
mannc Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I think the Steelers’ defense will frustrate Mahomes early, but they just don’t have enough offensive firepower…KC will pull away in the second half and win by two scores. Quote
Nextmanup Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Yes, but only if lots of things go their way. Think of what the Steelers did to US. They have a great front 7 and if they can prevent Mahomes from getting in a groove, they have a shot. Then you have turnovers, which can always alter the outcome of any game if that breaks Pittsburgh's way. Unlikely, but possible. 1 Quote
aristocrat Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Steelers need to hammer that run game more and not fall down early. Harris was pretty good against them the first time but i'm not sure the defense ever stopped mahomes. it would have to be a game where the d scored or put the offense in scoring range twice and steelers just hammered the run game. Quote
Captain Caveman Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Any team can beat any team, and the Steelers Defense could steal a game, but it seems like the least likely upset of this weekend. If I were guessing I'd say maybe they win this game 1 in 6 or 7 (which is pretty close to the Vegas odds of +500) Quote
