The Pittsburgh Steelers enter a must-win matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16. Here are the odds and predictions for this pivotal contest.
I can’t stress enough how important the Pittsburgh Steelers win in Week 15 over the Tennesse Titans was. Thanks to a remarkable effort by their defense that created 4 takeaways and allowed just 13 points, Mike Tomlin’s team now advanced to 7-6-1 on the season and still have a fighting chance to make the playoffs.
However, the degree of their playoff hopes hinges on what they can accomplish in Week 16 on the road against Kansas City. The Chiefs might be the hottest team in the NFL right now, and stealing at Arrowhead Stadium late in the year is no easy feat.
Though Pittsburgh won’t necessarily be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss this week, their odds of making the tournament will drastically decline. Here’s what we can expect from the Steelers in Week 16 against the Chiefs:
Steelers vs Chiefs Odds Week 16
The Week 16 betting odds on WynnBET have the Steelers as 10.5-point underdogs to begin the week. Pittsburgh has a moneyline of +375 while the Chiefs are favorites at -475. The over/under point total for this game is set at 46.5.
Steelers vs Chiefs Prediction Week 16
While I would love to think that the Steelers have a solid chance at coming into Kansas City in December and stealing a crucial game on the road, Pittsburgh’s offense lacks firepower and they were abysmal against the Titans in Week 15.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs have won seven straight games and Patrick Mahomes appears to be finally playing like the former MVP quarterback we have come to know. It’s going to take a remarkable defensive performance from Pittsburgh to keep Mahomes in check.
Sadly, we don’t think the offense is going to be able to toe-to-toe with a much more talented unit in this one, and we’re predicting a 29-20 Steelers loss in Week 16.
