The road to the playoffs in the AFC for the Pittsburgh Steelers gets no easier this week. Last week the Steelers took on the AFC South-leading Tennessee Titans and this week the Steelers go on the road to take on the AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs have the best record in the AFC, are currently No. 1 overall seed, and are hitting their stride on offense and defense. Meanwhile, the Steelers are struggling mightily on both sides of the football and are relying on splash plays and impressive individual effort to squeak past teams.

This disparity is why the sportsbook at Tipico has the Steelers as 9.5-point road underdogs to the Chiefs.

The Chiefs are currently No. 6 in the league in scoring offense and No. 3 in yards. Meanwhile, the Steelers offense is No. 21 in both points and yards. If the Steelers have another great game in them this season, this is the week to use it.
