The Kansas City Chiefs seem to have finally put all the pieces together after their Week 16 victory over the Houston Texans but they will have to face a tough test against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day to secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.
With a two-game lead over the Buffalo Bills in the playoff standings entering Week 17, Kansas City needs just one more win to earn a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
The Steelers, who are currently in line for the No. 3 seed, won’t be an easy out at Acrisure Stadium.
Both teams are set to compete on short rest after the NFL’s unorthodox scheduling saw Kansas City and Pittsburgh play their last games on Saturday, December 21.

Chiefs vs Steelers predictions, picks
Chiefs 23, Steelers 20: Everything seems to be falling into place for the Chiefs after their Week 16 win over Houston, but Pittsburgh will present a much tougher obstacle for the defending Super Bowl champions. Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson has revived his career after a disastrous 2023 campaign with the Denver Broncos. Still, he will need to put together a near-perfect performance to defeat Kansas City in this game.
