First look: Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers odds and lines

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Kansas City Chiefs (14-1) visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5) Wednesday for NFL Christmas Day action. Kickoff from Acrisure Stadium for this Week 17 matchup is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (Netflix). Below, we look at Chiefs vs. Steelers odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

This caps a stretch of 3 games in 11 days for both teams, who last competed Saturday in Week 16.

An injured QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) led the Chiefs past the Houston Texans 27-19 Saturday on the back of 260 passing yards, 33 rushing yards and 2 TDs (1 throw, 1 run). Kansas City covered the spread as a 3.5-point home favorite and the Over (42.5) cashed. The Chiefs can clinch the AFC’s No. 1 seed with a win in either of their two remaining games or a loss by the Buffalo Bills (12-3).

Despite a 217-yard, 2-TD performance from QB Russell Wilson, the Steelers blew an opportunity to clinch the AFC North with a 34-17 loss Saturday at the Baltimore Ravens (10-5). Pittsburgh didn’t cover as 7.5-point underdogs and the Over (44) hit. The Steelers still control their destiny for a division title, though.

Let’s see how the Steelers vs. Chiefs betting market lines up a few days before Christmas.

Chiefs vs. Steelers head-to-head

Pittsburgh leads the all-time series 23-14, but Kansas City holds a 2-1 advantage in the postseason.

Across the last 10 meetings dating back to 2011, the Steelers lead 6-4, but the Chiefs have won the last 3. The last time they played came in 2022 when the Chiefs won a 42-21 blowout as 13-point home favorites in an AFC Wild Card Game.

Those Steelers had Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback. This Pittsburgh squad has Wilson taking snaps and might have WR George Pickens (hamstring) back in action.

Do not rely heavily on the recent Chiefs-Steelers history.
